Workshop: Medicinal Herb Production

June 26, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Learn the ins and outs of commercial medicinal herb production, from field to drying room.  Participants will get an overview of the production and planning methodologies that Full Kettle Farm uses. The workshop will also focus on post production handling and herb drying for teas, oils, and other value added products.

Full Kettle Farm is a one-acre herb farm located in Sunderland Center. Now in its second year, the farm provides a model of small-scale production with a focus on permaculture, high-value cropping, and creative marketing strategies.

About the Instructor:
Farmer Greg Disterhoft began working with medicinal herbs after six years of large-scale organic vegetable farming in Massachusetts and California. His passion for working with herbs started in 2014 while managing Goldthread Herb Farm alongside master herbalist William Siff. Greg and his business partner Tamara McKerchie started Full Kettle Farm out of a desire to create a space for community, promote herbal education, and to play in the dirt. Full Kettle Farm produces herbal teas, value added products, and hosts ongoing workshops and events.
