Join Young Agrarians and apprentices from Manitoba and Saskatchewan to learn about rotational grazing, discover how to make compost extract (which is different from compost tea!), and explore a regenerative leafcutter bee enterprise. Whether you're a grass nerd, new to ranching, or simply curious about grazing systems.

Springer Farm operates a 200-head cow-calf and yearling heifer operation alongside a thriving leafcutter bee enterprise, with bees released into alfalfa fields in July. The farm also produces alfalfa seed and intercrops while making vermicast and compost extracts to support the crops as they grow. An expanding worm farm and diverse cover crops are used to build healthy soils  and reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

Participants will explore regenerative practices, and see how diverse farm enterprises can work together to build healthier soils, ecosystems, and communities!

What to Expect:

• Gain an understanding of healthy soil principles that promote biodiversity

• Learn about the farm’s leafcutter bee enterprise  

• Watch a compost extract demonstration 

This tour is sponsored by Canadian Forage and Grassland Association.
