About This Organization

12642780_996989157035284_3873213408975524894_nBlue Dasher is an operating farm intended to showcase cutting edge sustainable agriculture practices, produce high-quality food for local markets, and support the proliferation of farmland diversification with seed production. The 53-acre farm is divided into replicated blocks of equal size that allow the empirical evaluation of new practices and their effect on the farm and surrounding environment. A series of educational formats is used to promote soil health and the conservation of biodiversity. Blue Dasher Farm represents a farmer-driven education initiative intended to deploy of knowledge and practical skills that advance regenerative agriculture. A steering committee of some of the top scientists, farmers, ranchers, and beekeepers in North America ensures the quality and pertinence of information provided by their education programs, as well as serving as educators. Ultimately, they hope to link the Blue Dasher Farm with several current and developing research and demonstration farms throughout the country to form a dynamic network that is well adapted to regional production patterns and constraints.
