Sustainability Tour

On Wednesday we hosted the Purdue Agriculture faculty for a tour of our farm with emphasis on the different sustainability practices that we have implemented and are testing out. We received a lot of great feedback and interest in some of the newer ideas that don't have as much implementation (and therefore research) in the academic spaces. Our Johnson Su Bioreactor and addition of good fungi and bacteria as natural fertilizer sources was of particular interest. We also spent time examining our manmade wetland filtration system that uses natural water plants and grasses to filter water before it leaves our farm (shown below). It was also the first time we had a full size charter bus on the farm!

If you are interested in visiting to learn more about our sustainability practices, please let us know! We love to have folks to the farm to visit.
