Soil To Body Health: Examining Soil & Root (6/20/26)
Join us Saturday, June 20 (5-7pm) in Amherst County for a new monthly Land & Table series on ‘Soil To Body Health’ at Brooklyn Hills Ranch with regenerative farmers and holistic health advocates Fred and Amber Lyssy. This skillshare series will examine the soil, food, and health connection beginning at the microbial level underfoot. In this first part of the series we will focus on how to examine plant roots and soil and how to grow healthier plants in the garden and pasture for a nutrient dense diet. This will be a three part series so join us for the next two months to continue the conversation!
This monthly learning group is open to the public and is family friendly*.
