At the Summer School, we mentioned that we would follow up each month with a farm visit to discuss further important issues raised in the workshops. The next visit is planned for Sunday 29th June. Details are:
Sunday 29th June, starting at 2pm. CGL Beef, 148 Power Rd, Widgee.Karen Jarling and Warren McEwan will be showing us around their grazing and pasture management systems for their boutique beef production enterprise. In addition to their farm, Warren runs a contract mustering and cattle handling business and is willing to share the benefits of his experience with other landholders
Warren McEwen and Karen Jarling will be sharing their experiences with pasture management on their Widgee property.
The farm walk is at 148 Power Rd Widgee. We intend to have our green “field day” signs up about an hour before the afternoon starts. If possible, please let us know by email to maryvalleycountryharvest@gmail.com if you intend coming. (This helps us plan parking, and lets us know who to contact if there are any last-minute changes of plan.)
As usual, we invite you to bring a snack to share at the conclusion of the session. Tea, coffee and cold water will be provided. We ask that each attendee puts a gold coin donation in the tin for the farmer. These Sunday afternoon chats are proving to be a good way of people meeting each other and swapping ideas and information.
