Join us for a tour of Big River Chestnuts, where we will learn about agroforestry practices from Jono Neiger. Big River Chestnuts is a 10-acre diversified alley cropping and silvopasture farm started by Jono in 2018, with a vision to produce commercial quantities of chestnuts while stewarding the river terrace soils and habitat. The day will begin with a short discussion on the value of agroforestry as a climate adaptation technique, followed by a walking tour of the farm. After the tour, people are encouraged to socialize and enjoy some local snacks.
