Event Details

The key to sustainable success is feeding the soil. Join Joe O'Grady, Farm Manager, Holcomb Farm, to learn about numerous soil management strategies utilized to promote sustainable success at Holcomb Farm. These include the use of tailored cover crops, crop rotation, and the application of soil supplements specifically formulated for Granby fields based on soil analysis and testing.  Hear about Holcomb Farm's current collaboration/study with The American Farmland Trust. After the presentation, welcome special guest Dr. Josh Anderson, Holcomb Farm friend and author of the soon-to-be-released book "Soil Horizons."  Dr. Anderson will be available to answer questions regarding soil health and conservation efforts. Register to attend. 

Sponsored by Granby Public Library, Granby Conservation Commission, and The Friends of Holcomb Farm.
