Please join us for an on-farm workshop at the beautiful Wilderlove Farm to learn about their vegetable production and soil health management. With an emphasis on family, health, and community, Wilderlove Farm's farming practices focus on biologically active and fertile soil, nutrient dense crops, and holistic land stewardship. They grow a range of seasonal produce including leafy greens, bunching greens, root crops, fruiting crops, and fresh cut flowers. There will be much to see and learn! The event is organized by the Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District for vegetable growers, gardeners, and ag professionals.
