It’s official, we like stories about alternative ways of doing things and we like options on the farm and homestead too.
Alternative methods of managing septic waste, cutting firewood, managing mortalities and growing greens. Jeff Carter has seven veggie greens to consider growing this season.
Other considerable coverage in the May-June issue includes urban farming through partnering with property owners, on-farm artisanal sheep and goats milk cheese, Canadian made CBD rich cannabis cultivars, meeting challenges of beekeeping and farmers and protestors for potatoes.
It is also time to consider seasonal machinery maintenance for snowblowers and other off-season equipment before storage for in-season success!
Helen Lammers-Helps does triple duty with stories on building resiliency with hope, using social media to your benefit and for outdoor foodies, campfire cooking.
We were also excited to put together a story on the biggest tractor ever from John Deere and equally exciting BCS two-wheel tractor. Both making work fun to extremes.
Last but not least our back cover invitation to participate in Talk.Ask.Listen, a discussion on mental health in agriculture and food. See the SFC homepage.
