Join us on our farm for our 2nd soil fertility happy hour - tomorrow, Thursday the 25th from 5-7! RSVP here: https://givebutter.com/soilfertility

What we’ll be doing: Building a Johnson-Su reactors as a group, mixing the materials and finishing the event with active piles. This will serve as a practical demo of how you all could do this on your own farm or property.

What we’ll offer: A take home how-to packet and hands-on experience. Cold bevvies and bad jokes! And guess, what? We’ll have a porta-potty on site this time!

Meet the Instructors:

Joel Serot has been working towards establishing a better relationship with Regenerative Land Management practices, working to restore and protect future farms from long standing environmental damage already created from conventional farming. Over the past six years he has worked at Jalama Canyon Ranch and White Buffalo Land Trust as well as most recently implementing an holistic management system of over 250 fruit trees here in Ojai. Joel also helped organize our resource cooperative of local land stewards that has been bringing our agriculture community closer together.

Zach Heyman has over a decade of experience working at the intersections of agriculture, conservation, design, and education in New York’s Hudson Valley and here in Ventura County. He is a certified regenerative agriculture technical assistance provider, and a specialist in compost and nutrient management systems. At Farmhand Foundation, Zach leads the Thriving Ecosystems program, working to support farmers and land stewards monitor and enhance soil health, water quality, nutrient density of crops, and biodiversity in our region. by @heyzachman
