With Farley Center Farmer Ian Aley

Come visit the food forests at the Farley Center with Farmer Ian Aley! This tour is in conjunction with the North American Agroforest Conference which is taking place June 28-July 2.

The food forest includes newly planted areas through the Wisconsin Food Forests initiative as well as more mature areas featuring a range of planting styles: guilds and contours and a mix of plants from the well known: apples, pears, and grapes, to the lesser known: paw paw, cornelian cherry, honeyberry, quince, serviceberry, currants, and many more under and overstory plants.

The Farley Center is a certified organic farm where many growers rent land and share common resources like tractors, irrigation lines, and coolers.
