Mighty Gnome Market Garden

This farm plans its CSA from the ground up—literally. A detailed crop plan guides planting schedules and quantities to keep shares balanced and consistent. By coordinating with a local Food Hub, they find markets for surplus produce, reducing waste and strengthening their farm’s overall profitability. Attendees will be introduced to record keeping and crop planning practices, improving market planning and decision-making for increased profits.
