Mark Shepard, Manager of New Forest Farms and author of the book Restoration Agriculture, will introduce the simple Agroforestry practices of Alleycropping and Silvopasture as a method of transitioning your farm from a production system based on annual crops to one dominated by a diversity of long-lived perennial crops including nuts, berries, fruits, and livestock. Attendees will learn detailed information on the establishment, maintenance and harvest of long-lived woody crops while simultaneously maintaining current cash flow. Plenty of photos will be used to show what your farm will look like as it grows and changes through the years increasing in fertility, diversity and resiliency.
