Experimental Acres is a regenerative agriculture project that was launched in May 2022 by Our Food Future, a project of the City of Guelph and County of Wellington. The project works with farms to implement climate friendly farming techniques that emphasize conservation and rehabilitation to strengthen the health of farm soil. In its first year, the program supported 15 farms, covering 150 acres, with expertise, financial support, soil testing, and community building. Through the program, participating farms implemented regenerative practices including tree planting, no-till planting, cover cropping, and silvopasture. In 2023, the Experimental Acres program accepted 22 new participating farms, including 11 in Wellington County and 11 in Dufferin and Grey Counties.
