SUMMARY:Year Round High Tunnel Production
DESCRIPTION:Magney Legacy Ridge Farm is a small family farm focusing on year-round seasonal vegetable production using high tunnels\, low tunnels\, and shade cloth. They strive to provide the healthiest vegetables using no till\, organic practices to sustain the land for future generations and are\, therefore\, in transition to Organic Certification. Currently\, they grow on less than two acres\, including a small greenhouse and four high tunnels\, from which they achieve 46 weeks of vegetable production for market. \nHost farmer Angela Magney will share with us the practices they use on the Farm to achieve year-round production.  Supplemented by the expertise of UK Extension personnel\, this OAK Field Day will explore…\n· Crop rotation and timing for year-round growing\n· Soil health and fertility management\n· Irrigation systems\, including winter considerations\n· Pest management in tunnels via sanitation and cultural practices \nAdditionally\, Angela will provide insight into their success finding and securing local markets. The UK Center for Crop Diversification will extend the discussion considering statewide market data and research. This Field Day is geared towards production farmers and will highlight mid-scale mixed vegetable production. Cost for this Field Day is $5 for OAK Members; $10 non-members. Registration is recommended – register here.

SUMMARY:Organic Marketing for All
DESCRIPTION:The organic market is growing fast\, and you’ve committed yourself to life as an organic farmer – but being able to raise a good organic product doesn’t assure you a good price. That final product must also be high quality\, consistent\, and able to generate a sustainable profit. Production decisions must be aligned with marketing strategies\, yet some growers find marketing to be the hardest part of farming. \nIn this Organic Association of Kentucky workshop tailored specifically to marketing organic products\, the Center for Crop Diversification will present several modules from their Marketing for All curriculum. Participants will discover fundamental marketing topics such as knowing your product\, understanding your market and customers\, and promoting your business. \nThrough discussion\, real farm Q&A\, and market research\, we’ll dive deeper into pricing strategies and the art of persuasive messaging.  Participant interaction will help us design 2019 workshops geared toward grower and producer needs. This Field Day is geared toward production farmers who are interested in selling organic products\, and / or improving and expanding their markets. Registration information coming soon.
