 Natural Awakenings Lancaster-Berks

Grand Tour Offered at the Rodale Institute

Rodale Institute’s annual Organic Field Day, held from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., July 21, 2023, will provide the opportunity for participants to interact one-on-one with Rodale Institute experts and learn about the latest results of their farming trials. The Organic Field Day includes nearly 20 demonstration stations on the 386-acre experimental farm.

Stations will be set up throughout the farm and participants can either walk through or enjoy a leisurely wagon ride from site-to-site. Demonstration stations include organic farming systems, compost production, cover crops, apple orchards, pastured hogs, industrial hemp, beekeeping, vegetable and grain production, medicinal plants and more.

A new addition this year will be an exhibitor area with more than 20 booths of partners and friends sharing relevant information about their work, new programs and opportunities.

Cost: $25/person. Preregistration is required. Online registration closes at 2 p.m. the day prior to the event. Veterans may be eligible to attend for free. Email [email protected] for details. Location: 611 Siegfriedale Rd., Kutztown. Pack a lunch or buy onsite. For more information, call 610-683-1481 or visit RodaleInstitute.org/FieldDay.
