Cover Cropping for Orchard Soil Health: A Virtual Field Day at Little Dog Farm
How can cover cropping improve soil health, support nutrient cycling, and help orchards become more resilient to drought?
Join us on Wednesday, July 29 for a virtual field day filmed at Little Dog Farm in Creston, BC. Orchard stewards Cathy and Ian Finley will share how they have used diverse cover crop mixes to rebuild soil after decades of depletion, improve water movement, increase organic matter, and support healthier orchard systems.
You will also hear from regenerative soil specialist Jo Tobias of RootShoot Soils, who will discuss the role of soil biology, compost-based liquid bio-blends, and practical strategies for improving soil function. The evening includes a pre-recorded farm tour followed by a live Q&A with Ian Finley and Jo Tobias, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the practices being used at Little Dog Farm. Whether you grow fruit, manage perennial crops, or are interested in regenerative agriculture, we hope you will join us.
