Join Organic BC and Ecocert Canada at Lakeland Farms in Salmon Arm for a hands-on day exploring cover cropping, soil health, and drought resilience.

Tour Lakeland Farms and learn more about their business model and where cover cropping fits in, along with the economics of cover cropping, the tools used to manage hundreds of acres of cover crops, and how they’re integrating cattle grazing into their cover crops.

You’ll also hear from agrologist Tanya Brouwers on using cover crops to build soil organic matter, retain moisture, and strengthen farm resilience, and you will have the opportunity to take part in simple, practical soil assessments you can use on your own farm.

Askew's Foods will generously provide refreshments and snacks.

This event is free and open to anyone interested, but registration is required. Learn more and save your spot at: https://www.eventbrite.ca/.../cover-cropping-drought...
