VIDEO: Tending the Fires of Managing Holistically – Mark Bernard

In 2024, we hosted a series of workshops to connect people across Canada, to share and learn from each other and support each other in their practice of managing holistically.

Barnyard Organics is owned and operated by Mark and Sally who farm with their four children in Freetown, PEI. While grains, poultry, cattle and feed make up the bulk of their operation, they try to keep the soil as their primary focus. Incorporating grazing into their cropping rotation, using no-till when possible and planting a diversity of cover crops are all efforts they’re making to build the healthiest soil for the healthiest food.
