The University of Georgia is holding the second of two Open House Farm Tours this week.
Organizers say farmers, or curious members of the community, interested in fruit and vegetable production, organic farming, and strategies for helping growers overcome challenges are invited to attend the Twilight Summer Field Day.
It’s Thursday, June 27th at the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences’ (CAES) Durham Horticulture Farm from 6 to 8 pm.
Faculty and researchers will be at their plots to discuss their research and to share best practices at UGA’s 90-acre organic research and horticulture farm.
Topics covered include natural pest and disease control, viticulture, no-till vegetable production, organic watermelon production, pollinator protection and beekeeping and more.
The event is free and open to the public. In case of inclement weather, it will be held Friday, June 28th.
The first Open House was Tuesday morning at the J. Phil Campbell Sr. Research and Education Center.
