Al from Trigon Farm, Holsworthy will talk about Permaculture
This DASH event is only open to members.
Trigon Farm started in 2020 as a family business run by Al, Mariana and their son Seb. After growing veggies on an allotment for 6 years they decided to transition to a bigger area, where they could start from scratch and design their new farm using permaculture principles, no-dig and regenerative agriculture practices.
They use the no-dig method to grow vegetables and flowers, where they do not disturb the soil but let the microorganisms, fungi and worms do their work to enable soil structure to improve over time.
