TOFGA's class at Rose Creek Farms

Yesterday (Nov 3, 2012), I attended Rose Creek Farms' "Farmer Education Series" presented by the Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (TOFGA).

Mark Chapin of Chapin Farms - Crop Rotation & Pasture Management
Pamela Klein Johnson of Rose Creek Farms  - Poultry Management and Farm Tour
Lynn Remsing - Equipment Demo - Gnismer Farm Equipment
Pam Klein Johnson - Certified Naturally Grown Program (CNG)
Jay Mertz - Soils and Compost - formerly of Rabbit Hill Farm
Trish Percy - Marketing and Land Availability and Resources - TOFGA

 Pam and Ronnie assist Lynn with the farm equipment demo.

 The demo continued with some actual weeding with the ECO-weeder

 and a little demo of running plastic liner.

Les Constable's Brushy Creek Vineyard was only a mile or two away from Rose Creek, so I stopped there on the way home.  We had a great conversation about grape breeding and organic growing.  

 It was inspirational.  Today, I took Trish Percy's advice and made a lot of changes to this website.  I also contacted CNG and asked for infomation about getting the vineyard certified.
