Mighty Gnome Market Garden
This farm plans its CSA from the ground up—literally. A detailed crop plan guides planting schedules and quantities to keep shares balanced and consistent. By coordinating with a local Food Hub, they find markets for surplus produce, reducing waste and strengthening their farm’s overall profitability. Attendees will be introduced to record keeping and crop planning practices, improving market planning and decision-making for increased profits.
DETAILS: The farm tour of Mighty Gnome Market Garden takes place 5:30 to 7:00 PM.
There is no charge for the farm visit.
Limited space; register early!
Special Note: The address will be shared with you once you register.
