Come out to the farm and explore best practices for winter growing. Participants will tour our year-round growing infrastructure and then venture inside to talk about extension practices for the backyard grower (weather depending). There will also be a chance to purchase winter growing starters!
Note: The workshop includes a tour through our fields to the greenhouse. These are not plowed, and you should dress warmly for the outdoors. This workshop is best suited for adult learners.
Topics Covered:
What do plants need to grow all winter?
