Can we provide the nutrients needed to grow our crops 100% on farm?
This season at the farm Simon spearheaded a project called Determining if Comfrey Fermented Plant Juice is a Viable Alternative to Traditional Purchased Fertilizers. We were able to fund this project through a grant received from SARE, Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education, a federal program to “put the principles of sustainable agriculture into practice on farms and ranches.” The results from our study will be shared through SARE and a few other organizations in order to share our results with other farmers who may be interested in saving money or becoming more sustainable in their practices.
