SUMMARY:Summer Field School '22 Class #1: Specialty Produce and Irrigation
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Creative Seeds Farm for a session on Specialty Produce and Irrigation. With local food in high demand\, this course will help you determine what type of crops will help you stand out in a crowded market place. We will also cover how using niche produce can really help drive farm sales and how controlling water through the use of irrigation will insure healthy plants with high yields. \n\n\n\nCreative Seeds Farm began by selling a wide variety of produce to one local farmers market eventually seeing a customer need for fresh greens (specifically lettuce) year round. They began focusing their production based on customer demand and removed tilling to improve their soil.

SUMMARY:Summer Field School '22 Class #2: Season Extension
DESCRIPTION:Join us at TNT Farm N Greenhouse for a class of Season Extension. Season extension provides early and late harvests\, winter harvests\, and longer harvest windows. These techniques also offer pest and disease control. These opportunities translate into more income. \n\n\n\nTNT began in 2012 as a greenhouse and vegetable farm selling retail at three farmers markets\, selling wholesale to Appalachian Harvest\, and peddling to local restaurants. From 2012-2015 TNT was USDA GAP certified and from 2012-2020 was USDA Certified Organic. In it’s beginning years\, TNT established itself at the Abingdon Farmers Market and with a couple restaurants. The 1 acre wholesale garden was eliminated in 2015. 2021 was a fallow year for TNT and in 2022\, now focuses on edible garden transplants\, perennial edibles\, and mostly heirloom fresh vegetables selling at the Abingdon Farmers Market and restaurants. TNT is 4000 sq ft greenhouse\, 3000 sq ft high tunnel tomatoes\, and a quarter acre garden. Practices on TNT are still in tune with Nature and food safety although I have chosen to no longer carry the USDA Organic or GAP certifications.  \n\n\n\n“Go for it! Season extension can be used in a number of different ways adding to the excitement of growing food. It’s easy to implement and provides nice returns\,” is advice to beginning farmers from Tamara of TNT.

SUMMARY:Summer Field School '22 Class #3: Aggregation/Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Appalachian Harvest for a class on Aggregation and Distribution services and more. Season extension provides early and late harvests\, winter harvests\, and longer harvest windows. These techniques also offer pest and disease control. These opportunities translate into more income. \n\n\n\nFounded in 2000\, Appalachian Harvest is Appalachian Sustainable Development’s rural food and herb hub. Following the federal deregulation of tobacco production\, many local farmers found their incomes drastically reduced and wanted alternative crops to capitalize on their experience and existing resources. Our food hub assisted growers by transitioning them from tobacco to produce\, allowing them to remain on their family farms. \n\n\n\nOur team works shoulder to shoulder with small to medium-scale local farmers\, helping them get their goods to market. We provide GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certification training\, assist with organic certifications\, and provide them with much-needed\, year-round technical support. Our team also secures retail orders from various wholesale markets and provides aggregation and distribution of locally grown produce from Maryland to Georgia.

SUMMARY:Summer Field School Class #4: Integrating Multiple Operations
DESCRIPTION:Integrating operations is key to incremental success in farming.  Farms aren’t about single product lines\, but about how you can design your operations to support each other and build your assets (and soils) for the long haul.  Shift away from extractive farming methods and focus on long term success.  I will discuss our experience (both successes and failures) with building synergy in farm operations.  Topics under discussion will include livestock (pigs\, sheep\, horses\, chickens)\, alternative feeds\, composting\, pasture maintenance\, kid rearing\, specialty crops (such as hops)\, integrated processing services\, fertigation\, and more.

SUMMARY:Summer Field School Class #5: Rotational Grazing and Cattle Work
DESCRIPTION:Darrell Wess and family started Valor Valley Farm in 2017 as a cow/calf operation. They have specialties in good land stewardship\, quality cattle\, and environmental conservation and sell at livestock markets and to other producers. Join us at the farm for a class on rotational grazing and cattle work to gain knowledge on production methods for better land and cattle\, tools of the trade\, and helpful resources available to begin your own cattle operation. Darrell has served as a FARM Mentor and shares some insightful information for beginning farmers; “Don’t be afraid to try new things and experiment with what works for you and your farm. Get out and tag along with other farmers doing things you’d like to implement. For anyone considering adding cattle to their farm the importance of animal health with a quality working pen is crucial.

SUMMARY:Happy Hour at Appalachian Heritage Distillery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Happy Hour at Appalachian Heritage Distillery in Damascus\, Virginia\, a town where individuality and community go hand in hand. Relax in the new event center while bringing in the first of fall. Purchase tickets here while supplies last: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fall-happy-hour-at-appalachian-heritage-distillery-tickets-414852363587.  \n\n\n\nYou and your friends will enjoy tasty appetizers made with local ingredients by Chef Alvin Bragg\, two cocktails (spirits or beer) and live music by RJ Smith. Feel good knowing that your ticket purchase is an investment in the important work that Appalachian Sustainable Development has been doing in northeast TN and southwest VA since 1995. This event is sponsored by these generous partners: Concord Wealth Partners\, Food Country\, USA and Powell Valley Bank. 80% of all ingredients sourced from local farmers. All proceeds benefit Appalachian Sustainable Development. Located directly on the Appalachian Trail in downtown Damascus\, Appalachian Heritage Distillery proudly produces pristine spirits. Their generational family knowledge stems from a region steeped in cultural tradition. The unique design of their elegant and productive pot still forces a multiple distilled spirit with smooth yet robust flavor perfect for every gathering. Appalachian Heritage Distillery’s story starts in 1919\, deep in the Appalachian Mountains with Grandpa Bud Justus and his passion for crafting quality spirits. Bud had a prominent smokehouse behind his dwelling where customers left with more than a ham in their satchel. A copper vessel\, located in the back of his smokehouse\, was not for smoking meats. You see\, Bud enjoyed a fine reputation as a champion covert distiller and his patrons came from three different states along the Tug River: West Virginia\, Kentucky and Virginia. Now\, four generations later\, Grandpa Bud’s legacy lives on. While the recipes\, equipment\, and unlawfulness of the operation may have been “slightly” amended\, his commitment to quality persists. Appalachian Heritage Distillery strives to harness the spirit of tradition in the tradition of spirits.
