We had a great time at the Canadian Organic Growers Eco Farm Day 2013 this past Saturday February 23rd, 2013 in Cornwall.

The theme was Water Management and we were treated to a keynote talk from Maude Barlow (Council of Canadians). She is a great speaker and the talk was also excellent.

Some of the seminars we participated in were:

From Brown Water to Blue Water – natural systems to recycle farm effluents
Chris Kinsley & Anna Crolla, Alfred Campus, U of Guelph

Controlling Weeds in Organic Cropping Systems
Roger Rivest, Keystone Grains

Water Management in the Home and Market Garden
Edythe Falconer, Master Gardene

Pushing the Envelope with Cover Crops
Anne Verhallen, OMAFRA

Building a Home for a Zero Carbon Lifestyle
Chris Weissflog, EcoGen Energy Inc

If you dig around their website, you may find the presentations from past years as well.
They are buried pretty well however… if I can find them again I will try to post direct links.
ahh.. here we go:
