They’ve recently opened the farm up to asylum seekers, offering a space to farm the land, pick vegetables and cook together, creating a community and helping overcome trauma. They’ve also started training the next generation of regenerative farmers, as a means to pass on the land and skills they’ve accumulated over the years.

This innovative conference focuses primarily on the needs and interests of these farmers, and supports their contributions to local economic development and building healthy communities. It does so by connecting farmers, farm advocates, educators, professionals, experts, and agency officials.

The Emerging Farmers Conference (EFC) is FREE for all farmers and language interpretation is available in Spanish, Hmong, Karen, Bhutanese, Vietnamese, and Somali. Interpretation is based on registration. (We do our best to accommodate all farmers, but cannot guarantee interpretation for last-minute registrations.)

The EFC is a program of Big River Farms. It is planned and hosted by a collaborative of farmers and volunteers, government, nonprofit, and University of Minnesota personnel.

Interested in connecting more deeply to your natural environment?

Join us for a day engaging with and participating in an upland, organic farm in the Lake District. Nature is at the centre of our farming practice, combining new and traditional methods that support and restore biodiversity. Our land includes field pasture, hay meadows, ancient oak woodland, and upland fell. We stock a small number of sheep, native longhorn cattle, poultry, bees, and Tamworth pigs.

During the day, there will be a tour of the farm, a woodland ecology workshop and a traditional skill session e.g. dry stone walling. We are beginning a woodland project to restore traditional and ecological practices to allow sustainable and resilient land management. By incorporating the woodland as a productive part of the farm, we will increase the diversity of incomes and steward a sustainable mosaic of habitats. We value participation in land practices to create a better understanding of farming sustainably, whilst highlighting the benefits of connecting with nature for our wellbeing and, in turn, nature’s wellbeing.

These events are open to everybody, above the age of 18 (16+ with a responsible adult), however please consider this is a working farm (with uneven surfaces and some walking) so a level of phyiscal fitness is required. If you feel you have additional needs please get in touch and we will try to accomodate you. Please no dogs (except guide dogs).

Travel:

Parking is very limited at the farm. We ask that you try to arrive by bus and we will meet you at Monk Coniston bus stop, down the hill from the farm. There is a (paid) car park called Monk Coniston next to the lake which is a 5 minute walk from the meeting point. We encourage arriving by bike – you have the incentive of extra cake! Specific details and more accurate location are shared in your confirmation email.

If you can no longer attend, please let us know so we can offer your space to someone else.

Any questions, please get in touch at hollinbankfarm@gmail.com

Funding for this event has been provided by the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme from DEFRA. FiPL gives funding to projects that work to restore nature and mitigate climate change, provide opportunities for people to discover the landscape, and support sustainable farm businesses.

The post Farming for Nature Community Day appeared first on Regeneration International.

Across the UK and the world, both farming and forestry are vital to climate, nature, people and the economy. We aim to increase shared awareness of the challenges and opportunities increased collaboration can bring, understand the cultural and financial barriers to integrating trees on farms, and explore the multiple benefits, both economic and environmental, for farmers, foresters and policymakers.

We have a fantastic programme featuring speakers from across the UK and Europe. Taking place over two days, the conference will offer practical proposals and case studies of what has already been achieved, and by doing so change our perspective on what is possible so we can meet the needs of land-based businesses and respond to the environmental crisis and food crisis together.

The event – and the movement – continues to grow, this time combining a virtual programme and in-person event. Online speakers represented six continents, whilst hundreds gathered in Oxford to discuss transforming food and farming systems for good.

The following takeaways represent common threads from the expansive programme which, each year, provides so much more in terms of connection, solidarity and mobilisation than any single lesson learnt.
