SUMMARY:CSA Production\, Packing and Planning
DESCRIPTION:Join OAK for a field day! \nAnna Raines and her family started Rains and Sun Hilltop Farm in Independence\, KY\, in 2013 – a 13-acre certified organic farm growing food for their community through two local farmers markets and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares. The Rains and Sun crew delivers weekly CSA shares to 100 local residents\, so their crop planning starts with the commitment to providing those CSA customers with fresh-picked\, seasonal vegetables. \nJoin this OAK Farmer Field Day to learn Anna’s strategies for satisfying customer needs while building farm systems of efficiency\, profitability and environmental stewardship. We’ll visit Rains and Sun’s two acres of produce\, tended by Anna and her 4-person (mostly part-time) team with minimal-till practices\, broad crop diversity\, intentional crop rotations and cover crop use\, and an array of tunnels of covered production. Anna will also share her new packshed designed for efficient CSA packing and produce storage. \nAny interested farmer or allied professional is encouraged this field day: registration is required.
