Margaret Smith and Doug Alert, of Ash Grove Farm, discuss organic crop production and cover crops at a field day they hosted.
What started 10 years ago as a backyard hobby has now turned into a commercial orchard featuring a wide variety of unusual fruits. Tim Clymer, of Threefold Farm, will share how he and his wife started their farm business, which includes a U-pick orchard, plant nursery and wholesale outlets for their fruit. He’ll also discuss the unique production and marketing considerations for a few of their crops, which include figs, pawpaws, kiwi berries and Asian persimmons.
