10/24 Food Forest Planting at Fledgling Farm

Shovels out for Hazelnut tree planting at Fledgling Farmstead in Tunbridge! Help a local community farm establish a perennial fruit and nut food forest. Come plant hazelnut trees, learn specifics about planting, cultivar considerations for our climate zone, and how to use pollen charts to match cultivars. Lunch, tools, and education provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own digging shovel if you have one. Lunch will be provided, with lunchtime discussion focused on cooperative crop models. 

Work brigades are a popular educational tool used around the world to strengthen communities and build trust and solidarity through collective labor, connection, mutual aid, and knowledge sharing. Vermont’s ability to feed itself relies on thriving community-scale farms working together towards food sovereignty and community resilience. We hope you can join us! RSVP required for planning purposes.
