Developing Regenerative Pastures and Community Connections: A Soil Health Field Demo Day in Champaign County

Celebrate the inaugural Ohio Soil Health Week with a one.two.five Benefit Corporation field day that will begin with a 90-minute field tour* with Cory Stratton, the main farmer and co-owner of Truest Farms, a 21-acre regenerative farm established three years ago, focusing on poultry, hogs, and lambs. Then, everyone will meet for a 90-minute field tour* with Tonni & Graham Oberly, co-owners of Oaks & Sprouts farm. The Oberly’s grow a variety of vegetables and have a small livestock operation that includes pigs, a cow, goats, and livestock guardian dogs. The Oberly’s practice minimal tillage, use reusable landscape fabric, and rotate livestock to improve soil health.

In between the two tours, attendees will meet for lunch and conversation at In Good Taste Catering & Market in Urbana.

*each farm tour will feature interactive, hands-on learning and Q&A time with the farmers
