A Note from the Farm:
"Thanks for your interest in visiting Dilish Farm. I'd love to share the day touring with you all. We'll show you the lovely things we do at our farm to care for our vegetables and grow nutrient-dense foods.On our tour, we'll talk about intercropping plans, growing cover crops to feed the soil, and hand-weeding and plant care. We'll visit our logs in the forest where we grow shiitake mushrooms. And we'll walk through our tunnels that help us grow food in the winter and allow us to start seeds early in the spring.
We hope our tour helps people see what it's like to grow whole food. We want to showcase how small farms can be a sustainable source of food for large communities.
We look forward to visiting with everyone!
Thanks,
Trish of Dilish"Good to Know:
