Join us for a facilitated farmer to farmer style workshop focused on high tunnel production and management. Though the final meeting agenda will be developed on the day of the meeting with input from attendees, it is expected that topics covered will include season long soil fertility management, high tunnel model selection and construction considerations, biological pest and disease management, and more. Confirmed farmer presenters include Paul and Sandy Arnold of Pleasant Valley Farm in Argyle, NY, Leon Vehaba of the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, Sam and Erin Enouen and Sam Zurofsky of Long Season Farm in Kerhonkson, NY, and Jeff Arnold of the Hudson Valley Farm Hub in Hurley, NY.
