Join us for an afternoon at Cedar Down Farm for in-depth farm tour and a close look at their trials with raised, permanent vegetable beds and the critical role of cover crops in this practice.

Since 2010, Leslie Moskovits and Jeff Boesch (and their incredible team) have been growing vegetables for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) at Cedar Down Farm. As farmers, they aim to steward land and community, protect soil health and biodiversity, minimize their ecological footprint while bringing health and joy. Cedar Down Farm feeds over 200 families per season, while still prioritizing healthy relationships with the land and community. Participants will have the chance to see how this farm is a reflection of the real lives of the farmers who tend the land – from soil health, to labour strategy, marketing and production practices – it is all connected to relationships.

This event is also offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM) and with support from the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. Additional resources can be found in the FaRM Learning Hub.
