Farmer Roundtable: Building Biology through Inputs

Date: Sunday, March 9th 2-4pm MDT (Note: it's on Daylight Savings so update your clocks!)

Location: Lyons Farmette (4121 Ute Hwy Longmont, CO)

Topic: Building Biology Through Inputs Roundtable

Description: Biology nerds, fermentation freaks, and normal (but curious) humans, UNITE! Biological inputs (think: compost, compost tea or extract, biofertilizers, plant extracts, worm tea, biochar, Korean Natural Farming, etc.) can be a great way to boost your soil and plant health, but you might have questions like:

• Where do I start?

• Which one do I choose?

• Will it even work?

• What kind of equipment do I need?

• You might also be thinking, what the heck are you talking about?

Join us for a Sunday afternoon roundtable where we'll first get a broad overview of the big wide world of biologicals, then we'll break into small groups and discuss your lived experience, concerns, and curiosities. Bring your questions and a friend!

Facilitator: While participants will largely guide conversation, host Taylor Muglia (she/her) will be presenting a short overview on biological inputs and will provide resources for you to dive in further on this topic. Taylor is a student at the Integrity Soils CREATE Program, a manager of the New Agrarian Program at Quivira Coalition, a part-time farm hand at the Lyons Farmette, and the kind of person who once funneled 10 lbs of cow sh*t into a barrel with some other strange ingredients to let it ferment for a month. She loves opportunities to talk about soil health and low-cost methods to grow healthy plants and animals.

Parking info: For folks who haven’t been to the Lyons Farmette yet, we’re excited to welcome you! Our official address 4121 Ute Hwy but Google maps may send you to the neighborhood behind us.

We’re ON the highway when you come into Lyons, on the right hand side just after you pass the distillery. Look for our sign on the red truck! Please park in the front lot and walk back to the event barn. 

So excited for Sunday!
