The 2025 Food Forest Tours are starting! The first one, this coming Saturday (June 7) is at Laughing Apple Farm near Mactaquac, where you can learn about how to grow a mixed orchard better than organically (and get a wagon ride)! Learn how to reduce maintenance and pests, and increase productivity, geared for the NB climate.
