Generation Farm is a certified organic farm specializing in wholesale salad greens. The farm is small and entirely operated by farmers James and Marley. In the fall the farm shifts to growing greens inside their greenhouse to continue supplying to their wholesale customers. In this workshop James and Marley will provide an overview of practices they use to grow greens in the greenhouses and techniques that have helped continue to successfully grow in the colder months. Rimol Greenhouse Systems will also be present to share some information on best practices with your greenhouse and the various options you can use for your growing situation.

All farmers are welcome to attend to discuss organic production, procedures, all things related to organic farm life. Meet other farmers too! Hope to see you there!

We will overview nursery design for a small and low-input treed system.
