[MCN] Missoula Field Day Reminder: Next Wednesday

[cfacinfo]

​

*Next Field Day: Wednesday, August 19th*

*Garden City Harvest's River Road Farm in Missoula*
Seed Saving, Cover Cropping, a Potluck, and more!


River Road Community Garden and Neighborhood Farm is one of four urban
farms managed by Garden City Harvest. Established in 1996, River Road sits
on 3.5 acres and includes 55 community garden plots and a farm that offers
15 winter CSA shares and 64 summer CSA shares and raises 4,000-6,000 pounds
of produce annually for the Poverello Center. Because many farmers are
considering forming as nonprofits, farm manager Greg Price will talk about
the unique benefits and drawbacks of* farming as a nonprofit*, along with a
discussion of the ins and outs of managing a* large CSA program*, and his *seed
saving, **cover cropping* and *weed and pest management* techniques. For

Field days are free, farmer-led, on-farm events geared towards people who
are just at the beginning of their farm exploration - interns, folks
thinking about starting a farm in the near future, and those who are just
getting started. Of course, beginning and established farmers and ranchers
are welcome, too!



Each field day is farmer led so they vary in topics and times based on the
farmers' areas of expertise and availability. To best assist the farmers in
hosting a successful field day, we ask that you *register at least
three days in advance*, or by Sunday, August 16th. Walk-ins are still
welcome, but we'd greatly prefer to have a good estimate of numbers in
advance.



We hope to see you there!
