When straight, boring vegetable and flower beds just won’t do – go in circles or build up! Join us at Rosy Buck Farm to explore innovative, sustainable farming techniques that minimize equipment and maximize ecological benefits! Farmers Holly and Randy will demonstrate how they establish and maintain permanent beds without tractors or tillers, and discuss the advantages of hügelkultur and employing concentric circles for water retention and management. This event is perfect for farmers interested in practical, low-impact methods that support both productivity and soil health.
