Time: 8:30AM - 3PM
Place: TBD - Farms in the Vicinity of Hoosick Falls
Address: TBD
Join the pioneering agricultural educator Allen Williams for a field day out on two farms in Hoosick Falls NY. Allen is a leading voice in the regenerative agriculture movement, which focuses on the interconnected relationship between soil, crop, and livestock health that is based on the adaptation of natural ecosystem functions for agricultural systems.
This field day is farmer-focused! We encourage anyone working the land to attend no matter your experience with regenerative agricultural practices on your farm. Whether you’re a committed regenerative farmer or just interested in learning more, there’s bound to be something valuable here. While any farm operation can benefit from this field day, livestock, dairy, hay and field crop farmers will be of particular interest for this field day.
This field day is being run in conjunction with a showing of the documentary Roots so Deep the evening prior at the Hoosick Falls High School Auditorium. Allen Williams features in this documentary series and will be part of our Q&A panel following the showing. Registration for the documentary will be handled as a separate event and is open to the general public. See the event page on our website for more information.
