Pollinators are essential to healthy agroecosystems and provide both ecological and agricultural benefits. Join Joe Bossen of Cloud Water Farm and Spencer Hardy from the Vermont Center for Ecostudies for a hands-on exploration of farm landscapes that both produce food and support healthy, diverse pollinator populations. Together, evaluate Cloud Water Farm’s existing habitat, inventory pollinators, and discuss what is working, what is not, and the role recently established pollinator hedgerows will play in supporting pollinator populations. Learn how pollinators interact with market crops and how intentional, well-designed perennial plantings can strengthen ecological resilience and long-term farm viability. This workshop earns one RAP Agricultural Water Quality education credit and is supported by the Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP)

Cloud Water Farm is a Resilience Grant awardee.
 

This workshop is free for farmers, thanks to generous support from TOPP.
