WALPOLE, N.H. – Growing a farm with community, environmental, and financial sustainability in mind is challenging enough. Add on soaring fuel costs and the continuous impacts from climate change, and it can feel near-impossible to stay afloat. We keep hearing about how the Inflation Reduction Act will support infrastructure and farmers, but aren’t sure how to access those funds.
On Oct. 2, from 4-6 p.m., learn from climate farmers Abby and Jonathan at Winter Street Farm, 344 Winter Street in Claremont, N.H., who have built energy efficiency and sustainability into every part of their operation. They’ve taken on several innovative projects, including passive solar propagation and panels on their farmstand, a community compost collection system, reduced tillage while maintaining rotation, a guard emu for their roving flock – his name is Edward – and a whole lot more.
Walk away knowing more options for cutting energy demand and building efficient systems, and about current local and federal opportunities for funding and support to get things done.
