Tour Cedar Mountain Farm, a micro-dairy and no-till market garden in Hartland, to explore how regenerative practices can build climate resilience. For over thirty years, Stephen Leslie and Kerry Gawalt have applied soil health principles to support biodiversity and mitigate the impacts of heat, drought, and heavy rainfall. Specific resilience-building efforts include developing silvopasture and alley cropping systems, installation of a gravity hillside pasture water pipeline project, and fostering native riparian pockets. Join us to learn from the farmers how restoring the carbon cycle and biodiversity are key to increasing farm and community resilience.
This workshop earns one RAP Agricultural Water Quality education credit and is organized in collaboration with the Connecticut River Watershed Farmers Alliance.
Cedar Mountain Farm is a Vermont Family Farmer of the Month and Resilience Grant awardee
