Build soil health.
Regenerative agriculture is farming and grazing practices that focus on soil building and improving the water cycle. It's not just for large-scale farm or fields. Local Foods and Small Farms Educator Katie Bell will show how it can be done on a small farm or homestead as well. She will do a hands-on demonstration with fencing tools and discuss the following topics:
- Overview of regenerative grazing
- How to implement it on your farm or homestead
- Basic tools to get started
The program is free, but we ask that you register. Visit go.illinois.edu/HomesteadGrazing or call (618) 687-1727 to reserve your spot.
