SUMMARY:Farm Tour: Compost and Soil Biology
DESCRIPTION:Chuck Desmarais is opening Desmarais Family Farms near Stoney Point for a morning on compost and soil biology. \nChuck composts on farm and extracts nutrients from it for his field crops. He’ll walk through how that process actually runs — what goes in\, how it’s managed\, and how the extract gets used in the field. \nFrom there\, into his on-farm lab. Chuck uses microscopes to look at soil biology himself\, on the farm\, rather than sending everything away and waiting. He’ll show what the setup looks like and what he’s looking at when he sits down at it. \nThe morning finishes in the field\, walking the ground the composting process feeds. \nWhat we’ll cover \n\nComposting on farm\, and extracting nutrients from compost for field crop production\nChuck’s on-farm lab — using microscopes to take a closer look at soil biology\nA field tour of the fields that the composting process feeds\n\nDetails \n\nWhen: Thursday\, September 3\, 2026 · 9:30 – 11:30 am ET\nWhere: 11325 Lakeshore Rd 302\, Stoney Point\, ON\nCost: Free to attend\, open to all\nRegistration: Required.
