Spring has arrived in full force.  After last week’s heavy rains and the abundant sunshine green is everywhere on the farm.  We can also gauge the coming of spring by our continued busy list of workshop presentations; including a free workshop on plant and seed selection in Fall River this Tuesday the 6th (see the Brix Bounty Events page).

On this Saturday, April 11th, we will be one of 10 locations around the state hosing a hands-on Organic Gardening Workshop in partnership with NOFAMass.  To pre-register of for more information please visit the NofaMass Programs Page.  The workshop will run from 9AM to noon.

We’ll be doing a presentation on soil fertility using organic methods, with a focus on nutrient dense production.  I’m also looking forward to hearing from the folks at New England Biochar who will be demoing the biochar process and presenting an afternoon workshop on Biochar 101.  See our Events page for a listing of other upcoming events in the area, including our spring presentation schedule.
