Growing Ethnic Crops for Soil Health and Nutrient Density
Tuesday, June 25, 2024 · 6:30–8 pm
Unionville, Virginia
Join us at Carter Farms to explore how various ethnic specialty crops impact soil health, soil erosion, resource management and native pollinators. We will learn about leaf nutrient analysis and how these plants compare to more traditionally grown produce in Virginia. We will also discuss Climate Smart Agriculture and how to practice it in your farming operations. Learn with Michael Carter Jr. of Carter Farms and Africulture as we dive deeper into the soil and the plants he grows.
Space is limited to 20 participants.
