Natalie here... and for this episode I want to talk farmer research! You may notice that research is a theme for me? SARE is a federally funded program for farmer centered research and innovation. Candice Huber works for SARE and Jennifer Wilhelm runs a no-till market garden near me in New Hampshire, Fat Peach Farm, and has received two SARE grants to pursue some of her ideas.
Mentioned in the show...
Jennifer’s SARE Projects:
Exploring the Feasibility of Growing Microgreens in a Modified Cold Storage Room
Assessing No-Till Permanent Raised Beds for Mixed Vegetable Production on Marginal Soils
The No-Till Growers SARE Project
Northeast SARE Farmer Grant Program
