Back To All

Experience firsthand how intercropping can enhance both biodiversity and farm profitability at Joseph Moilliet’s farm in Vavenby, where cutting-edge research meets real-world application.

This collaborative field day with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food BC will showcase the complete journey of intercropping systems, from seed selection strategies to harvest outcomes, with producer Joseph Moilliet sharing his authentic experiences from start to finish.

Professional Agrologist Mike Witt will delve into the technical agronomics behind the project, while encouraging attendees to bring their toughest questions for open discussion.

The second half of the day shifts focus to advanced rotational grazing, featuring live demonstrations of solar watering systems and portable electric fencing that make intensive grazing management both practical and profitable.

Don’t miss the chance to see how Joseph’s sheep have been successfully rotated through three distinct pasture types, including an innovative silvopasture system.

Funding for this project in part has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions – On-Farm Climate Action Fund.
