Farm Tour: Tuckaway Farm, August 31
The final NOFA-NH Farm Tour of 2010 will be at Tuckaway Farm in Lee on Tuesday, August 31. If you are interested in organic, no-till techniques, small grain and oilseed production and processing, and/or production and use of biodiesel, this is a farm tour you won’t want to miss!
Organic No-Till Farm Tour
NOFA-NH 2010 Summer Organic Garden & Farm Tours
Tuckaway Farm, 59 Randall Rd, Lee, NH
Tuesday, August 31, 5:30 PM
This tour will be focused on organic no till equipment and limited/no till establishment of covercrops to build soil organic matter. Small grain and oilseed on-farm variety selection as well as harvesting and on-farm processing of grains and oilseeds for feed and fuel will also be discussed. On-farm biodiesel production and use will be briefly covered as well.
Dorn Cox has been growing organic grains and oilseeds for 7 years and researching varieties, cultivation and harvest practices. He helped found the Great Bay Grain Cooperative with nine other farms. They have helped build a local knowledge base around local grain and oil seed production and processing. Dorn is currently enrolled in the Natural Resources & Earth Systems Science PhD program at UNH focusing on carbon policy and soil based carbon sequestration. Four generations of his family currently live on two farms, Tuckaway Farm and Sheltering Rock Farm. Tuckaway Farm is a diversified mixed power (draft horse and tractor) family farm with hay, timber, small fruits and berries and a market garden with direct sales.
Directions: From Concord: take US-4 E to the Rt-155 N ramp toward Durham/Dover. Turn Left onto NH-155 / Turtle Pond Rd. Stay on NH-155 for 0.8 miles, then turn left onto Randall Rd.
Workshop is $10 for NOFA members, $15 for non-members (children under 18 no charge).
