In the spirit of inspiring and facilitating conversation in a time when it is crucial we stay informed about the world around us, Wright-Locke Farm invites you to our 2017 Speaker Series. Join us monthly in our beautiful 1827 Barn for an evening of discovery and discussion. Our Speaker Series is free and open to the public. The August session will be hosted this Wednesday, August 16th from approximately 7:30 - 8:30pm with audience Q/A immediately after the presentation. We kindly ask you to RSVP by emailing Community Engagement Coordinator Kim Kneeland at kkneeland@wlfarm.org so we can save you a seat!

In our upcoming session entitled "Agroforestry: From Global Strategies to Wright-Locke Farm," principal and head designer at AppleSeed Permaculture LLC, Connor Stedman, M.S., will share how agroforestry can benefit farms and communities throughout New England in the years to come. Through agroforesty’s diverse set of practices that integrate agriculture, forestry, and conservation, these systems can increase food production, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration on farms while reducing erosion, drought impacts, and other climate change-related vulnerabilities. Having worked closely with the farm throughout the year, Connor will also unveil the newly-developed Master Plan for the pasture and forest lands of Wright-Locke Farm during this talk.
