Get ready for another season of farmer-to-farmer learning on PFI member farms!
Over 40 farms are opening their farm gates this year to share their knowledge on a range of agricultural topics.
At Flavor Country Farm, Kevin Novak produces 800 pounds of mushrooms each week and markets them to chefs in Omaha. The farm also includes microgreens, tomatoes and a handful of other vegetables. Visit Kevin’s lab and production facility, hear about what it takes to work with this unique system at this scale and learn from a chef-turned-farmer about his unique operation and marketing approach.
