  • Growing on Principles: Soil Health, Farmer Health & Community Health... An OAK Field Day w/ Jackson Rolett

    Growing on Principles: Soil Health, Farmer Health & Community Health... An OAK Field Day w/ Jackson Rolett
    Oct 23 2024
    In the spirit of collaboration, I'm gonna do something a little different. A couple weeks ago I did a field day with OAK--that's the Organic Association of Kentucky--If you're listening to this and live in Kentucky you should totally be a member. We and acouple of dozen other farmers and farm professionals walked through our gardens. We talked about the conservation practices we're currently using on our market garden along with some of the lessons learned and fielded some questions. Before the talk, last minute, I decided to put on a wireless mic and record it so that we could share it with all of you. Now, I know it's not going to be as good as being there in person and some things you just have to see. My thought is that, again, in the spirit of collaboration, you all could share the tour via audio on your own time and maybe, just maybe, glean a little something from it. Mentioned in the show... Become an OAK member! Photos & video from the tour (Drive folder) The Backstory of Farming at The Church (YouTube) Folks who support Collab Farm
