Multispecies Pasture Coaching Program – Info Session + Farm Walk

September 8 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Our Multispecies Coaching Program is now taking applications!  

Wondering if it’s for you? This field day is the perfect opportunity to learn from past participants and understand how your property might benefit from getting involved.

This introductory session will be held at Peter Dykes’s farm. Peter has been growing multispecies since 2018, and using other practices like mob grazing, keeping soil covered and minimizing disturbance. He’s also making and using his own biofertilisers. We’ll hear why he made the switch, how he got started and what he’s learnt along the way.

Multispecies crops have been producing amazing results, so come and see for yourself!


More about the Multispecies Coaching Program

Over the next year, participants in the program will have the chance to:

  • Attend two training workshops in spring and autumn with specialist Jade Killoran
  • Visit two local farms during these sessions
  • Develop personalised plans for trialling multispecies on their farms
  • Hear why it makes sense to start with annual species and transition to perennial pastures
  • Compare successes and challenges with other farmers during online meetings and via a chat group
  • Learn how to grow multispecies pastures successfully!

 

Year 4 participants will join over 60 farmers from previous years, and be able to learn from their experiences.
