Winter is for learning and planning

Hey Reader (Note: This email is brought to you today by 12-year-old, Simon Schauder) Last week we finished our trip to VABF (the Virginia Biological Farming Conference). It really showed a whole new side of farming and taught us so much. If you didn't know, VABF is a weekend conference that consists of different talks regarding a new subject, strategy, or tip to turn your farm into a sustainable one without using toxic chemicals or pesticides. During that time, we hosted two talks ourselves, "How to grow a profitable microgreens business" and "Multi-harvest crop plans." We've had such an incredible time sharing our work with others while getting in touch with other farmers. Want a sneak-peek of what that VABF conference was like? Our Garden Planning Your Year Ahead workshop next Tuesday, January 20th aims to do exactly that. 🗓️ Garden Planning Your Year Ahead
This year, our entire family attended different talks on topics such as, agroforestry, soil bacteria, and even biodynamics for your own garden. Here are some photos from the event: Grow abundantly and keep warm, |
