Marbleseed, in partnership with Wisconsin Women in Conservation, is hosting a Field Day at Blackbrook Farm in Amery next month. The program will be held on September 10 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Attendees can take part in a conservation walk and talk at Blackbrook Farm, operated by WiWiC Conservation Coach Ayla Graden- Dodge and her husband. They will explain how they are overcoming unique challenges presented by their farm's sandy soils in both their vegetable operation and pasture establishment for the livestock they have integrated into their operation. Ayla will also share how they have worked with the NRCS to implement conservation on their farm by establishing some pollinator habitat and using cover crops.
All women farmers, landowners and conservationists from Polk, Barron, Dunn, and surrounding counties are welcome to attend.
