SUMMARY:AGROFORESTRY FARM TOUR SERIES 2026: FOREST FARMING WITH ALYSIA LEON OF BIRD FORK FARM
DESCRIPTION:Woodland and Field-Grown Herbs for Value-Added Culinary\, Medicinal\, and Body Care Products \n\n\n\n*Please note that this event location is on central time. \n\n\n\nAlysia Leon\, archaeologist-turned-farmer\, established Bird Fork Farm in 2020\, to connect deeper with the land and share that connection with others. Bird Fork Farm is a “Certified Naturally Grown” small seed-to-bottle apothecary herb farm\, located in beautiful Dunlap\, TN. BFF connects folks with wild\, edible and medicinal plants through their diverse array of culinary and value-added products. These include a wide variety of culinary\, medicinal\, and body care products – all made from ingredients that are certified naturally grown and/or ethically foraged on the farm. Products are sold through their “Herbal Farmacy” CSA\, website\, farmers’ markets\, and wholesale around town. Product offerings are as diverse as Thai Fire Cider\, Elderberry Syrup\, all-natural insect repellents\, soaps\, scrubs\, dry shampoos\, and hair rinses. \n\n\n\nBFF utilizes sustainable practices for more intensive management on a few acres\, while allowing the remaining 50+ acres to remain in a more natural state\, stewarded with ethical foraging and population management practices for the wild edible and medicinal plants that grow there. The tour will look at both intensive and extensively managed areas\, including their market garden and orchard\, a woodland trail through native medicinal herbs growing under the forest canopy\, and even a walk through a prairie restoration site (recently burned with prescribed fire) and a mature persimmon grove. Hands-on activities and a peek inside the value-added operation will be included throughout the tour. Don’t miss what is sure to be an engaging day! \n\n\n\nProducts will be available for purchase on-site. This tour is supported in partnership with the Southeast Tennessee Young Farmers Coalition. Thanks to them\, childcare during the tour is available\, upon request! \n\n\n\nThis event is Free\, but registration is required. (This tour has a limited capacity\, so please be considerate; only register if you definitely intend to attend.) \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:AGROFORESTRY FARM TOUR SERIES 2026: CATTLE & SHEEP SILVOPASTURE WITH WILL BOWLING OF OLD HOMEPLACE FARM
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Wildlife Biology with Forage-Based Grazing: Cattle and Sheep Silvopasture \n\n\n\nWill Bowling is both a farmer and a professional wildlife biologist – not two things you often see together – and the combination has yielded intriguing results at his family’s farm in southeastern KY. Will’s passion for managing plant communities has informed his forage-based livestock operation (and vice versa)\, as he integrates woodland management principles with silvopastoral livestock operations. \n\n\n\nWill and Maggie Bowling purchased the farm in 2013\, and since that time\, they have provided locally-grown farm products to their community in southeastern Kentucky. Old Homeplace Farm consists of around 55 acres\, including 2 acres of intensive vegetable production and 26 acres of pasture. Currently\, they produce vegetables\, cut flowers\, and pasture-based livestock (cattle\, sheep\, and goats). They market through both direct-to-consumer sales and wholesale accounts\, as well as some livestock breeding stock. They conduct educational workshops\, farm dinners\, and other agritourism events. \n\n\n\nCome see how over ten years of hard work and ecologically informed land management have resulted in a thriving farm venture. \n\n\n\nThis tour is supported in partnership with the Southeastern Kentucky Sheep Producers Association. \n\n\n\nThis event is Free\, but registration is required. (This tour has a limited capacity\, so please be considerate; only register if you definitely intend to attend.)
