    Event Information

    Join us for a rare opportunity to spend the day with renowned plant breeder and farmer-led researcher Duane Falk to explore how a thoughtful rotation and on-farm research can build soil fertility, resilience, and seed self-reliance.

    Duane will guide participants through his innovative five-year organic rotation, which includes breeding and saving seed from key cover crops like red clover, rye, winter peas, and multispecies mixes. Tour five diverse field stops—including potatoes, winter cereals, and oats, and dig into practical strategies for soil health, low-input fertility, and rotational planning that works well through time and space. This is a free event.
