Small Axe Farm is a small, certified organic market garden on a steep hillside in Barnet. The farm grows a diversity of crops for local markets using no-till practices. Farm owners Heidi Choate and Evan Perkins will describe their approach to managing soil health and preventing erosion on a slope, how they produce a bounty of crops with no-till methods, and how nurturing the natural habitat around the farm has reduced pest pressure on crops.

Join entomologists Vic Izzo and Scott Lewins to discuss emerging strategies to deal with some of the region’s most challenging pests: Swede midge, Colorado potato beetle, leek moth, and wire worm. They’ll share current participatory action research they are conducting with farmers to develop management techniques such as scouting and delayed planting.

Burnt Rock farm is a certified organic farm in the Huntington River Valley that specializes in winter storage crops and summer greenhouse crops. This workshop will focus on specialized equipment for vegetable production, especially for accurate fertilizer application, and water management.
