Educational

2006 Report:

2006 was a good year for our educational activities. Stonyfield Farm visited us twice, and Eero provided an extensive farm tour for CRAFT, a Massachusetts apprentice farmer educational program. A slide lecture for the Merrimack Valley Beekeepers Association was given in late October. 50 volunteers from CITY YEAR came to the farm a week before Thanksgiving to glean farm root crops for the NH Food Bank. In early December Eero participated in a risk management workshop hosted by the NH Cooperative Extension. During the winter Eero served as a farmer-advisor for a new USDA’s Northeast Region IPM grant funding program ***
