Practical Farmers of Iowa Field Day

Sunday, August 7, 2016 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm

The field day "Starting a Market Garden" originally set to be held in Grinnell and hosted by Jordan Scheibel, has been moved to Ames, and will now be hosted by Julia Slocum of Lacewing Acres, with PFI member Gary Guthrie of Growing Harmony Farm offering insights from an experienced farmer. While the event title has been changed to "Field Planning for a Beginning Vegetable Farm," to better reflect Julia's perspective, the field day date, time and topics remain the sameTopics will include garden bed sizes, plot sizes, plant groupings, tillage and weeding strategies, cover crops and more.

A meal will be provided. RSVP for the meal to: lauren@practicalfarmers.org or phone 515-232-5661 by Aug. 4.
