We’ve all heard about the value of organically grown produce but what does it really mean? Laura Davis, co-owner of Long Life Farm and CSA in Hopkinton, will discuss using organic practices including soil enrichment, community-supported agriculture and the benefits of locally grown organic produce.
Laura is a fifth-year beginning farmer and board member for the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA). She has worked at organic farms and has attended numerous NOFA workshops on CSAs, the technical aspects of farming practices and nutrient density techniques. She has also completed courses on sustainable farming and good agricultural practices, and is a learner and supporter of the Real Food Campaign. Long Life Farm achieved their organic certification in 2013.
Our meeting will be held at Faith Community Church, 146 E. Main Street, Room 213, in Hopkinton. Our general meeting starts at 6:30p.m. The speaker portion starts at 7:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. New members are welcome any time during our club year.
