Sow Good Community Resource Festival: Baton Roots Community Farm

Workshop and Volunteer Activity: Fruit Tree Guilds (10-11 AM)

• Learn about Fruit Tree Guilds- What are they? How do they support a thriving, food-producing ecosystem? How can you plant them in your yard or neighborhood? Learn about beneficial companion plants for common Louisiana fruit trees with Baton Roots and Baton Rouge Green staff. Afterward, join us in planting the first demonstration guilds in the orchard at Baton Roots Community Farm! Participants are able to take home any produce harvested at the farm as well as a small fruit tree to plant at home. This activity requires a fair amount of walking, some bending, lifting, and shoveling. Reach out to batonroots@thewallsproject.org for additional accommodations as needed. This program is supported by a grant through the USDA Forest Service.

Farm Fresh Cooking Demo and Food Tasting with AHA (10:30-11:30 AM)

• Taste seasonal dishes with produce directly from Baton Roots farm! Recipes are prepared by chefs and nutrition educators working with the American Heart Association. This event is scheduled from 10:30-11:30 to allow participants to attend other sessions. Registering for this event does not require you to stay for the entire hour, but provides a more accurate headcount for food preparation. Limited bench seating is provided. This program is supported by Geaux Get Healthy, a project of HealthyBR.

All-levels Yoga under the oak trees (11 AM-12 PM):

• Join us for a relaxing and rejuvenating yoga workshop underneath the shade of the live oak trees at the farm. This workshop is open to all experience levels and yoga mats are provided on site. Yoga will be led by Bryce from Fleaux With Meaux (@fleauxwithmeaux on Instagram),
