SUMMARY:Cancelled: Pastured Hogs Production
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, we have had to cancel the on-farm Pastured Hog workshop scheduled for October 7th. Some of the content of that class will be covered in the webinar scheduled for October 8th. There is no access fee\, and you can register here. \nIf you want to watch a video detailing our hog facility and operation\, with a presentation by our animal husbandry specialist\, you can find it as part of our 2020 Virtual Field Day.\nThere is a $25 fee to access the virtual event. \n• • • \nThis class is an opportunity for interested farmers to learn first-hand how to integrate a pastured hog operation into their farm. Focused on nutrition and forage management\, serious farmers will gain the knowledge they need to begin setting the foundations of a successful organic hog herd. \nA pasture-based production system is a very cost-effective method of meat production and is appealing to consumers who look for high quality meat from humanely treated animals. Grazing hogs on pasture not only benefits the animals but also improves the overall farm\, as hogs will clean up weather-damaged crops and weed species\, fertilize pastures/fields with manure\, and can even be used to “till up” underproductive areas. \nIf you are a veteran\, you may be eligible to attend educational events for free. Please email veterans@rodaleinstitute.org for details. \nOrganic Farmers Association members receive a 25% discount on all workshops. Email maria.pop@rodaleinstitute.org to claim your discount. Not a member? Join today.

After completing his Ph.D.\, he was hired as an Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley in 1994\, promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2000\, and to full Professor in 2003. Hayes’ research focuses on developmental endocrinology with an emphasis on the role of endocrine-disrupting contaminants\, particularly pesticides. He is interested in the impact of chemical contaminants on environmental health and public health\, with specific attention to environmental justice and healthcare disparities. \nKatherine DiMatteo\nKatherine DiMatteo provides organizational management\, and policy and regulatory consulting services to the organic sector.. She recently served as interim executive director of Pennsylvania Certified Organic and was formerly the executive director of the Organic Trade Association from 1990 to 2006. Katherine was instrumental in shaping the outcome of the U.S. National Organic Program standards and the U.N. Codex Guidelines for organically produced foods. She currently serves on the Fairtrade America Board of Directors and the Advisory Board of Protect Our Breasts.

Albert\, Frances\, and their four sons—Eldon\, Wendell\, Harlan\, and Homer—saw how the Dust Bowl stripped the land of its topsoil in the 1930’s. When they moved to California\, they decided to work in partnership with nature\, becoming pioneers of organic farming. Since 1937\, the Lundbergs have been growing healthy\, great-tasting rice while tending to soil\, air\, water\, and wildlife as carefully as their crops. In addition to farming organically\, Lundberg Family Farms offsets its operations with 100% renewable energy\, is ENERGY STAR certified\, and maintains TRUE Zero Waste certification. It’s all part of Lundberg’s mission to nourish\, conserve\, and innovate for a healthier world.
