Farm fields with riparian buffersJoin us for an introduction to agroforestry to learn how these practices can fit into the landscape of a small diversified, perennial-based farm.

Mark Krawczyk and Ammy Martinez steward 52 acres of field and forest at Valley Clayplain Forest Farm in New Haven where they cultivate log-grown shiitake mushrooms, nutrient-dense berries and other fruits, and maintain a uniquely diverse set of agroforestry installations that support wildlife, build soil, slow and infiltrate runoff, and much more. Following an overview of the fundamentals of agroforestry, we’ll examine a number of the promising species for growers in Vermont and explore how these practices can support a whole-systems approach to farm and land management. This workshop will be outdoors and field-based with a mini-lecture for the first 30-40 minutes, followed by a walk-and-talk tour.

Presenter: Mark Krawczyk
