Organic Field Day at Rodale Institute

Rodale Institute’s Annual Field Day, held from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., July 20, will provide the opportunity for participants to interact one-on-one with Rodale Institute experts and learn about a wide variety of research and demonstration projects, all focused on organic agriculture, on the 333-acre experimental farm.

Demonstration stations include: farming systems trial, vegetable systems trial, industrial hemp, high tunnels and grafted tomatoes, organic vegetable cropping, composting, pest management, no-till management, pastured hog production, honey bee conservancy and agriculture supported communities.
