SUMMARY:2025 Adaptive Nitrogen Trial Results Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join OSN\, EFAO\, and FCS FaRM for a webinar sharing results from the 2025 Adaptive Nitrogen Trials. \nThe Adaptive Nitrogen Trials are designed to help farmers dial in the most profitable nitrogen rates on their farms. These “plug-and-play” replicated strip trials look at 2 or 3 nitrogen rates in corn following cover crops\, helping generate practical insights that can be applied on-farm. \nDuring the first hour\, participants will hear from Jackie Clark (EFAO)\, Lorraine Vandermyden (OSN)\, and farmer participants about the trial setup\, key findings from 2025\, and what these results may mean for farms across Ontario. \nThe final 30 minutes will focus on program recruitment for 2026. Anyone interested in potentially joining the trial is welcome to stay and learn more about the opportunity. \nWhat you’ll learn \n\nHow the Adaptive Nitrogen Trials are set up\nWhy this trial matters for on-farm profitability and decision-making\nKey results and observations from the 2025 season\nHow the trial may apply across different farm contexts in Ontario\nWhat participation in the 2026 program could look like\n\nSpeakers \n\nJackie Clark\, EFAO\nLorraine Vandermyden\, OSN\nMadeline Rodrigue\, FaRM Agronomy Program Manager\, Eastern Canada\nFarmer participants\n\nAgenda \n1:00 PM – Introduction to presenters\, Overview of the Adaptive Nitrogen Trials: why the trial exists\, how it works\, and how it is set up \n1:15 PM – Presentation of 2025 results\, Discussion and audience questions \n2:00 PM – Optional: Information about the 2026 Adaptive Nitrogen Trials and opportunities to join the program

SUMMARY:All Things Cover Crops: Meet-up with Ken Laing
DESCRIPTION:Longtime EFAO member Ken Laing of Orchard Hill Farm will be hosting quarterly online meet-ups open to all. Each conversation will be focused on a specific topic structured with a short presentation from Ken followed by lots of time for open conversation and questions from the group. \nIn March\, Ken will be hosting a meet-up all about cover crops. First\, he will highlight some of the many uses of cover crops on the farm including: \n\nweed control\nmaking some nutrients more available in the soil\nkeeping living roots in the soil\ncovering the soil to prevent erosion\nreducing soil temperature\nincreasing soil carbon for all the good things that produces\nand more!\n\nFollowing Ken’s short presentation\, the conversation will open to participant questions and ideas to share. \nThis event is offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM) and is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping Category. \nAbout Ken: \nIn 1979\, after Ken Laing graduated from the University of Guelph’s horticulture program\, he and his wife Martha started farming near St. Thomas\, ON. Orchard Hill Farm has produced a wide variety of small fruit\, vegetable and field crops organically since 1989. In 2020\, Orchard Hill Farm became the horticultural site for Living Labs (an Agriculture and Agri-food Canada program) in co-operation with the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario [EFAO]. The goal was to develop no-till strategies for organically grown vegetables.

SUMMARY:March Seed Growers Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:Join the March Seed Growers Meet-Up! \nMany growers are starting early seed crops\, organizing grow-outs\, and thinking through field layouts\, isolation distances\, and population sizes for the season ahead. \nThis informal lunchtime Seed Growers Meetup is a space to connect with other growers and seed-curious folks and share where you’re at in the process. Whether you’re starting your first seed crops\, preparing for spring planting\, or deciding which varieties to grow out and save seed from\, bring your questions\, observations\, and half-formed ideas. \nLast time\, we had great conversations about seed cleaning equipment\, how orchardists\, native seed growers\, field croppers\, market gardeners\, and seed companies are all approaching seed saving\, how potential changes to seed regulations could impact our work\, and ways to share breeding projects with others. We’re excited to keep those conversations going. \nAs part of EFAO’s Member Month\, this March meetup is free to everyone — members and non-members alike — making it a great time to join the conversation. \nBring your lunch\, your seed stories\, and your questions. Growers of all experience levels are welcome as we compare notes and head into the growing season together.

SUMMARY:February Seed Growers Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:Join the February Seed Grower Meetup!  \nFebruary sits right on the edge between winter reflection and spring anticipation. While the fields are still quiet\, seed growers are deep in planning mode — reviewing notes\, refining crop plans\, ordering seed\, and making decisions about which varieties to grow out and save seed from in the coming season. \nThis informal lunchtime Seed Growers Meetup is a space to connect with other growers and seed-curious folks and share where you’re at in the process. Whether you’re finalizing crop plans\, thinking through isolation distances and population sizes\, preparing for seed starts\, or juggling questions about capacity and scale\, bring your questions\, observations\, and half-formed ideas. \nTogether we’ll talk about what’s shaping growers’ seed plans this year\, how decisions are being made about varieties and grow-outs\, and what questions are coming up as we move closer to spring. We’ll also share updates on upcoming seed-related events\, opportunities to get involved\, and ways to support one another in the months ahead. As always\, the goal of this meetup is to learn together and support one another in growing a wide diversity of high-quality seed in the quantities growers need. \nBring your lunch\, your seed stories\, and your curiosity. Growers of all experience levels — from long-time seed producers to those just starting out — are warmly welcome. \nLet’s gather\, compare notes\, and keep strengthening our seed-growing knowledge together.

SUMMARY:Behind the Packet: The Hidden Worlds of Hybrid Seeds
DESCRIPTION:This event is offered by the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security along with partners across the country\, including EFAO. \nAt the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security\, we work toward a future where farmers have the power to save\, improve\, and share the seeds they rely on. That means building a seed system rooted in genetic diversity\, regional adaptation\, and collective care. \nSeed systems are complex—shaped by geography\, labour\, economics\, policy\, and culture. They involve trade-offs. No single model is perfect. This series is about holding space for nuance\, highlighting under-recognized work\, and building shared understanding of the systems that feed us. \nWe invite you to join us—with curiosity and care—as we shine a light behind the packet. \n————————————— \nBehind the Packet: The Hidden Worlds of Hybrid Seeds\nIt may be that many growers don’t think deeply about the seeds we plant—but behind each packet lies a complex web of decisions\, relationships\, and global infrastructure. \nThis conversation dives into the world of hybrid seed production\, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how hybrid seeds are grown\, who produces them\, and what that means for farmers\, biodiversity\, and seed sovereignty. \nHybrid seeds can offer significant benefits\, especially in certain farming contexts. But they’re also part of a broader system that relies on intensive labour\, specialized technologies\, and globalized supply chains. We’ll explore how these seeds are produced—from hand pollination in crops like squash\, peppers\, and tomatoes\, to the increasing use of genetic tools—and why much of this work is concentrated in specific regions of the world. \nThis webinar is an invitation to think more critically and curiously about the origins of our hybrid seed and what a more transparent\, just\, and regionally resilient seed system could look like. \nThis webinar features Adrienne Shelton of Enza Zaden\, who brings expertise from her work with one of the world’s leading vegetable seed companies\, and Jason Cavatorta\, Plant Breeder and Research Director at EarthWork Seeds\, LLC\, where he develops high-yielding\, flavourful varieties with strong disease resistance and adaptability\, with a focus on solanaceous and cucurbit crops. Together\, they’ll share insights from their experiences in hybrid seed breeding and production\, offering participants a rare look into the decisions\, practices\, and global networks that shape the seeds we grow. \nPresentations will be in English with translated slides in French.
