Join us this year for multiple hands-on workshops about the why and how-to of harvesting rainwater from a high tunnel. This series is a collaboration between Jacob Chapman of Moose Paw Farm, Sharon Autry of Herdsman House Farm and KC Farm School.
This project was developed with support from the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture — National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA). Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed within do not necessarily reflect the view of the SARE program or the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
