Beginning Farmer: Soil Health Training
In this series we’ll be exploring the world of soil health, uncovering foundational principles to rich productive soil and highlighting the various ways to tend the physical, chemical and biological properties of our growing spaces.
The three-part series will run concurrently at two different farms in Massachusetts – Woven Roots Farm in Tyringham, MA and Farming is Life in Winchendon, MA. Participants can choose which series to participate in based on their geographic location.
