Cracklin’ Rosie” stole the show at this week’s Biochar Workshop! 🔥🌱
Built by UFV welding students, the charcoal retort was featured during a hands-on workshop led by Dr. Emily Samuels-Ballantyne in partnership with Earthwise Farm in Agassiz.
Participants explored several methods of making biochar, from traditional trench and pit methods to the impressive “Cracklin’ Rosie” kiln setup. The workshop created exciting conversations around regenerative agriculture, soil health, and innovative approaches to sustainable farming.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the workshop such a success — and special recognition to our talented UFV welding students for bringing “Cracklin’ Rosie” to life! 👏🔥
