Successful management of small-scale, diversified farms benefits greatly from intensive planning before the growing season starts. This workshop with Kenneth Mulder, Farm Manager at GMC, will focus on developing a production plan for a diversified vegetable production operation, including estimating demand and yield, utilizing intercropping and rotations for ecological efficiency, and using succession plantings to maintain a steady crop supply. Cerridwen Farm at Green Mountain College is a 22-acre diversified educational farm where students compliment their classroom education with hands-on experience in vegetable production and animal management.
