Join Young Agrarians and apprentices from Manitoba and Saskatchewan to learn about rotational grazing for healthy soils, discover how to make compost extract (which is different from compost tea!), and explore a regenerative leafcutter bee enterprise. Whether you’re a grass nerd, new to ranching, or simply curious about grazing systems, this tour is for you.

Springer Farm operates a 200-head cow-calf and yearling heifer operation alongside a thriving leafcutter bee enterprise, with bees released into alfalfa fields in July. The farm also produces alfalfa seed and intercrops while making vermicast and compost extracts to support the crops as they grow. An expanding worm farm and diverse cover crops are used to build healthy soils  and reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

Join us to explore regenerative practices, and see how diverse farm enterprises can work together to build healthier soils, ecosystems, and communities!

What to Expect:
