There will be plenty of opportunity to socialize and ask questions about land sharing, livestock farming and farm startup.⁠ ⁠ DATE: June 21, 2025 • 3pm - 6pm⁠ ⁠ LOCATION: Coast Salish Territory.

Looking for ways to extend the shelf life of your Looking for ways to extend the shelf life of your produce after you've harvested? @wiseearthfarm recommends conditioning with cold water."Conditioning vegetables with cold water before storing them helps to preserve freshness, prevent wilting, and extend shelf life 🌀🔹 Removes Field HeatFreshly harvested vegetables often retain heat from the field, which accelerates respiration and decomposition. Cooling them down in cold water slows down their metabolism - helping them stay crisp and fresh for longer.🔹 RehydratesLeafy greens, carrots, radishes, and other moisture-rich vegetables start to lose their water content after being harvested. Soaking or rinsing them in cold water helps to # rehydrate their cells, restoring their firmness & preventing rubbery textures.🔹Preserves VitalityCold-water conditioning helps leafy greens stand upright, removes surface dirt from roots & greens, and enhances the crops' natural colour."📽: @wiseearthfarm#farming #farmer #regenerative #homestead #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagriculture #agriculture #planting #gardening #spring #summer #bubbler #condition #conditioning #vegetable #storage #water #lettuce #radish #turnip #spinach #ginger #regenag
📖Hot off the press: Check out our new National 📖Hot off the press: Check out our new National New Farmer Framework report! ⁠ ⁠ Over the past year, through our "Breaking Barriers: Growing Future Farmers" project we have engaged new and equity-seeking farmers across Canada in dialogue about the supports, programs and policies they need to grow their farms. These dialogues culminated with our in-person National Policy Jam in March, where we workshopped policy recommendations with farmers and farmer support organizations. The resulting report dives into the barriers new and equity-seeking farmers face and outlines bold, community-rooted policy recommendations to support the next generation of farmers. This report is a living document and will continue to evolve! Let’s build a future where farming is accessible, just, and viable for all.⁠ ⁠ Read the report in our link in bio!⁠ ____________⁠ ⁠ 📖Tout juste publié: Consultez notre nouveau rapport sur le Cadre national pour la relève agricole! ⁠ ⁠ Au cours de la dernière année, nous avons engagé la relève agricole et les agriculteur.trice.s en quête d’équité, ainsi que les aspirants agriculteur.trice.s, à travers le Canada, dans un dialogue sur les soutiens, les programmes et les politiques dont ils ont besoin pour faire croître leurs fermes. Ces dialogues ont culminé avec notre Jam Politique National, qui s’est tenu en mars et au cours duquel nous avons élaboré des recommandations politiques avec des agriculteur.trice.s et des organisations de soutien aux agriculteurs. Le rapport qui en résulte examine les obstacles auxquels sont confrontés la relève agricole et ceux.celles en quête d’équité, et présente des recommandations politiques ancrées dans la communauté pour soutenir la prochaine génération d’agriculteurs. Ce rapport est un document évolutif et continuera à évoluer! Construisons un avenir où l’agriculture sera accessible, juste et viable pour tous.⁠ ⁠ Lire le rapport dans le lien en bio!⁠ ⁠ #YoungAgrarians #FutureFarmers #BreakingBarriers #youngfarmers #NewFarmerPolicy #agridiversity #SustainableCdnAg
