Decorah, Iowa
Event Link: 2012 Rock Spring Farm Field Day
Organized By: Practical Farmers of Iowa
Chris' Presentations:
Saving Labor on the Market Farm - Market farming is all about moving stuff around, whether you're moving vegetables from the soil to the packing house, water from the well to your transplants, or seeds from their packet to the soil. Join Rock Spring Farm for a tour of the systems they use to make moving stuff easy.
We'll explore Rock Spring Farm's systems for seeding crops in the field and greenhouses, transplanting sets, pruning and greenhouse crop maintenance, weeding tools, harvesters, post harvest handling, materials handling, and record keeping.
Organized by Practical Farmers of Iowa, and sponsored by the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service.
1:00pm - 5:00pm at Rock Spring Farm - directions available here: http://rsfarm.com/map/
From the evaluations: "This was hugely useful in small, practical, tangible, and affordable purchases and home DIY projects mixed with larger systematic suggestions. Fabulous!"
