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.
