Description

Join Great River Greening for an afternoon of connecting with ecologists and farmers to learn more about sustainable agriculture and carbon markets. Farmers will learn more about continuous living cover crops such as winter camelina and Kernza and how the crops we plant can positively impact fish populations downstream. This is an exciting opportunity to meet other farmers and naturalists on a lovely St. Peter farm.
