September 21: Winter Crop Production & Soil Nutrient Management

Date: Thursday, September 21

Time: 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Snacks and refreshments provided for post-event mingling.

 

Join KBFA at Crooked Horn Farm with farm owners Ange and Gord to hear about soil nutrient management and winter crop production.

Ange and Gord have been commercial market gardening for over 14 years in Winlaw on the Slocan River and are well known for producing high quality, nutrient dense, certified organic produce. They amend and balance their soils annually using the Albrecht method to support annual crop production but do not use any animal based products or fertilizers on their farm. Ange and Gord have continued to expand their winter crop production with high tunnels and at this field day we will see and hear about their crop plans and strategy to harvest through the fall and next spring.

Participants will be treated to a demonstration of fermenting alfalfa pellets to use as a soil amendment.

 

Please leave your pets at home and bring clean footwear.
