Cane Creek Farm LLC

There’s a new opportunity for growers at Cane Creek Farm...for those who mainly want to learn and grow their own food: Plots of Plenty Come grow an abundance of summer produce on the land of Cane Creek Farm, under the tutelage of Lynn Pugh, farmer-in-residence. Learn to work with nature to grow your own organic food in a sustainable way. The purpose of Plots of Plenty is to equip serious gardeners with the knowledge, skills and mindset to produce their own food. Training in... the fundamentals of organic growing, a large garden space in which to grow, and mentorship to help with questions along the way, will be provided. The six month program will start in March with classes on Tuesdays from 4-6 pm. Classes will meet most every Tuesday with a time for discussion and a time for hands on training on the farm. The first three months will focus on a group class, then the next three months will be individual mentoring sessions. Participants should plan to return to the farm to work in their own gardens 3-4 hours each week at a time of their convenience- daylight hours, Monday through Saturday. Both learning and practical experiences are important to becoming a successful grower, so participation in both is expected. Topics will include soils, plants and plant reproduction, crop planning, insect, disease and pest management, cover cropping, crop rotation, composting and more. Specifics: Garden space -2000 square feet of prepared soil, with good sun exposure Garden tools available for use Water available Attendance of 75 percent of classes required to maintain use of garden Safety precautions- all meetings will be outside, masks required when in close proximity to others. Costs- 85 dollars a month, or two payments of 260 dollars at the beginning and mid point of the program, or a one time payment of 500 dollars.
