SUMMARY:Dry-Farmed Bush/Semi-Bush Squash - Farm Walk #1: Early Season
DESCRIPTION:Dirt Talk Farm Walk: Dry-Farmed Bush/Semi-Bush Squash a Two Part Series\nFarm Walk #1: Early Season (Establishment & Climate Adaptation Tools) \nJoin us for the first session of a two-part WSARE farm walk series at Roots Farm\, where they will share their on‑farm research project\, “PNW Dry‑Farmed Bush/Semi‑Bush Squash Variety Trials.” This project is part of a larger effort to equip small farms in the Pacific Northwest with practical tools to adapt to increasing drought\, water scarcity\, and hotter\, drier summers. \nWhat You’ll See & Learn in Farm Walk #1 \n\nEarly‑season establishment & climate‑adaptation strategies\, including:\nField preparation for dry‑farming\nDeep‑mulch systems & bed layout\nTransplanting techniques for low‑water production\nEarly‑season soil moisture readings\nMonitoring tools for tracking soil health & drought tolerance\nHow these strategies help farms reduce irrigation and increase climate resilience\n\nThis first walk gives farmers a ground‑level look at how dry‑farming systems are built and launched\, setting the stage for the second walk later in the season (September) where we’ll look at crop development\, yields\, and variety performance. \nOffering the series in two parts helps participants see the full progression of a dry‑farmed system\, from establishment to harvest\, and understand how these practices can support long‑term climate‑resilient production in the PNW. \nDate: May 22nd\, 2026\nTime: 3pm – 5pm\nLocation: Roots Farm Poulsbo\, WA\nSpeaker: Jen Clark\, Roots Farm\nAudience: Farmers \nRegistration Details: https://events.com/r/en_US/registration/dirt-talk-farm-walk-dry-farmed-bushsemi-bush-squash—early-season-bremerton-may-1049931 \nPlease only register for the farm walk if you plan to attend as there is limited space for this event.
