SUMMARY:Seed Demonstration Garden Tour & Local Varieties Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a tour and tasting to learn about the incredible work of local seed stewards! \n  \nFertile Ground Farm is a 2022 host site for the Seed Demonstration Gardens.The goal of these demonstration gardens is to serve as a hub to showcase and evaluate varieties of interest for ecological farmers and growers that can contribute to a regional seed system. These Gardens are sites for exploring and showcasing 80 different vegetable varieties best suited for regional seed production\, growing crop varieties for conservation in partnership with Seeds of Diversity\, and trialing okra\, red pepper varieties\, and carrot varieties in collaboration with farmers across the province. \n  \nLocal seed is the basis for truly local food\, and farmers and growers in our region have been saving\, selecting\, and breeding interesting\, resilient\, and storied seeds for generations. Join us for this farm tour and tasting to learn about these varieties\, who grows them\, and what makes them so special. \n  \nThe farm tour begins at 10:00am. Participants are invited to bring a bagged lunch which can be eaten alongside some catered snacks that showcase the varieties grown in the gardens. There will also be variety tastings\, where you can help us pick which varieties in the trials taste the best!  \n  \nFor more information about the Seed Demonstration Gardens visit seedsecurity.ca/engage and efao.ca/seed-security/  \n  \nThe Seed Demonstration Gardens are funded in part by the Government of Canada through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Canadian Agricultural Strategic Priorities Program (CASPP)\, a $50.3 million\, five-year investment to help the agricultural sector adapt and remain competitive.

SUMMARY:Living Fences\, Silvopasture\, and Sheep Products with All Sorts Acres
DESCRIPTION:All Sorts Acres is a 50-acre regenerative permaculture farm supporting a flock of 40 pastured ewes\, and producing such products as wool\, sheep milk gelato\, kefir\, yogurt\, artist charcoal\, and pastured lamb. Operating as a whole farm ecosystem\, each area’s waste feeds into other areas of the farm. This spring\, farmers Jennifer and Tim have planted living willow fences to form the basis of European-style hedgerows which will contain sheep\, support biodiversity\, provide animal fodder\, and can be used for on and off farm products such as fuel\, baskets\, and artist charcoal. Come tour the farm to learn more about its interconnected systems and lessons learned in pasturing sheep\, and to see the beginning of living fences in action. Kick off summer with this field day — there may even be gelato samples!

SUMMARY:June Seed Grower Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:It’s that busy time of year as the longest days of the year are upon us\, and yet still questions and queries about seeds and seed production still come up. Seed growers and seed curious folks\, bring your seed questions and areas of contemplation to our EFAO Seed Grower MeetUp and we’ll work together to try to address as many as we can. And when we find a question we can’t address at the moment\, this is a place to let the Seed Program Manager know so we can arrange further education opportunities. This Meetup offers a place for us to share our seed producing knowledge and to hear about upcoming seed events. As always\, our goal is to encourage each other to grow a great diversity of seeds of high quality and in the quantities growers need. \n  \nThis Seed Grower Meet Up is hosted monthly for EFAO members. Growers of all experience levels and at all points in the process of seed saving and production are welcome.
