SUMMARY:CISA Designing and optimizing irrigation systems for drought resiliency\, water efficiency and crop quality
DESCRIPTION:Location: Pioneer Gardens Farm\, 425 Greenfield Rd\, Deerfield\, MA 01342 \nRegister here \nThis workshop at Pioneer Gardens in South Deerfield\, MA will bring farmers and irrigation system designers together to look at emerging irrigation practices that increase water efficiency. The workshop will highlight the use of soil moisture sensors as a key component of irrigation planning and water usage. \nThe event will include opportunities for farmers to share their own approaches to irrigation\, including discussion of labor efficiency and decision-making during droughts. We will also provide information on grants and other funding sources for irrigation and related infrastructure. \nFollowing the workshop there will be a networking session with a light meal. \nThis work is supported by the Northeast Extension Risk Management project award no. 2025-70027-45395\, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

SUMMARY:NOFA/Mass Working Towards Better Soil: Farmer Exchange & Networking Event
DESCRIPTION:Register and Learn More Here \nJoin Just Roots and NOFA/Mass for a farmer-to-farmer field walk exploring how soil health practices can take shape on a small\, diversified production farm. We’re coming together to share practical knowledge and experience. This is an opportunity to share real-world experience—what’s working\, what isn’t\, and what we’re all still figuring out. \nTogether\, we’ll walk the farm and look closely at a few of our current experiments & systems\, including: \n\nNo-till beds within a mixed till/no-till production system\nNative pollinator plantings as part of a soil-building strategy\nPerennial hedgerow strips (apple\, dogwood\, beach plum)integrated into annual fields\nTrial-and-error lessons from running a high-value small farm while building soil\n\nThis is a casual\, farmer-led exchange. Come with questions\, ideas\, and your own experiences to share. After the tour\, we’ll gather for a light dinner & a conversation about how this work connects to the Healthy Soils Action Plan.
