The weekend will include extensive hands-on demonstrations (outside and in our high tunnels), sessions on maintenance, purchasing/renting considerations, and more.

This workshop is led by specialists and farmers who have trialed many systems and will share both their decision-making process, and their favorite tools (and why). Sam Oschwald Tilton of Glacial Drift Entrerprises will lead this event, joined by Tim Brown of Broadview Farm and Gardens and others to be announced soon.
