Survey on winter growing seeks input from vegetable farmers

Posted By Kate On December 29, 2010 @ 3:41 pm In winter growing, author: Kate | No Comments

Are you growing or storing crops for sale during the winter months?  Are you interested in expanding your farm’s winter harvest? 

[1] Click here to take the online survey, and get connected with a network of winter growers and resources for year-round farming.

This survey will inform a new project to help farmers expand their winter crop production, and improve crop storage structures on their farms. [2] Seacoast Eat Local is proud to be a partner on this project, which will provide much-needed information and resources to the farmers who are working hard to grow a year-round supply of vegetables. The project will also support the development of  [3] winter farmers’ markets in the region.

[4] N[5] ort[6] h[7] east SA[8] RE has provided funding for a 3-year Research & Education project to [9] expand winter harvest and sales for New England vegetable crops. Partners include [10] University of Massachusetts, [11] University of New Hampshire, [12] Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture (CISA) and [13] Seacoast Eat Local. We are currently interviewing growers, setting up research trials, organizing winter markets, and planning educational workshops and meetings for farmers. Please complete our [14] survey, and tell us about what you’re doing on your farm, and what issues are important to you.

Stay tuned for details about upcoming workshops and events!
