August 12th - BioChair event This event is hosted by John Broberg of Lilykoi Farms in Arroyo Grande. They are part of the SLO Permaculture Guild "family." His subtropical farm is located on ancient sand dunes. To enrich the sandy soil they use a variety of agroecological and beyond-organic growing techniques: biochar, richly diverse compost extracts, interplanting, and the use of perennial nitrogen-fixing plants to produce mulch and fertilizer on-farm. Come learn about this Hawiian pit technique of creating biochar. The event is on Sat., August 12th at 10:30am to 3:30pm. The event is free but you need to email John Broberg to RSVP by August 9th! His email is jtbroberg@gmail.com. |

Come check out the agroforestry growing at Our Global Family Farm too! Agroforestry is the purposeful integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits. This guide explores the core practices of agroforestry and how they can be applied in a regenerative context to build soil health, increase on-farm resiliency, and mitigate the effects of climate change!
