Farmer perspectives on flooding, adaptation, and building farm resilience
w/ Amanda Andrews, Tamarack Hollow Farm; Bruce Hennessey, Maple Wind Farm; Ryan Fitzbeauchamp, Evening Song Farm
March 13, 2025, 5 - 6:30 p.m.
Farmers throughout New England have been severely impacted by extreme precipitation and flooding. As a result, farms are innovating, exploring creative and meaningful ways to adapt their businesses and production systems to climate change. Join us for a discussion with Tamarack Hollow Farm, Maple Wind Farm, and Evening Song Farm to learn how both vegetable and livestock producers throughout New England are impacted by flooding and at the same time adapting their farms to build resilience. Their presentations will be followed by a facilitated farmer-to-farmer discussion. Come to listen, share your experiences, ask questions, troubleshoot, and be inspired to make your own farm more resilient.

This spring NOFA-VT and MOFGA are hosting a 3-part series of farmer climate forums focused on flooding, excess precipitation, and farm resilience. The series starts next Thursday (3/13) with a farmer panel exploring flooding and adaptation. Session two (3/27) covers New England climate trends and soil hydrology. And the final forum (4/10) is a conversation around climate adaptation planning for flooding and high precipitation.
See below for detailed forum descriptions and links to register.
The forums are virtual, free to attend, and hopefully are a nice opportunity to learn from your peers and take steps toward growing our shared agricultural resilience here in New England.
