A Workshop for Sustainable Soil Management on Organic Vegetable Farms

Please join Ryan Voiland (Red Fire Farm), Nancy Hanson (Hampshire College Farm), Sandy Bell (University of Connecticut), and Beth Hooker (Hampshire College) for an informative and interactive workshop on Friday, December 13, 2013.

This workshop, second in a series, is designed for participants to share experiences and learn about practices aimed to promote optimal soil health. We will identify factors that contribute to soil nutrient problems, discuss the role of soil testing in promoting soil health, identify ways to address problems and promote practices that increase soil health, and identify next steps to achieve and maintain optimal soil health on participants’ farms.

This workshop is funded by a Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) grant. Ultimately, the research will inform our goal of creating a unified, regional approach to promoting sustainable soil health on organic vegetable farms.
