Over the past three seasons, Dani Baker, co-owner of Cross Island Farms, has developed one acre of her certified organic farm as a multi-functional edible forest garden incorporating numerous permaculture principles and practices. Join her for a walk-through and introduction to over 300 perennial cultivars of fruits, nuts, berries, and other edibles in seven permaculture layers with a variety of supportive plants integrated into the landscape.Attendees will taste fruits, flowers, greens and herbs in season, and go home with a potted plant to add to their own edible garden.
Registration fees are $20/person or $30 for two or more attendees from the same farm/family. Private tours of the farm are available during the morning prior to the field day. Private tour parties please contact the farm directly at 315-482-3663 or email organic@crossislandfarms.com. To register visit www.nofany.org or call 585-271-1979.
