How are ways that a small vegetable farm like Many Forks -- with 2 acres in cultivation and without any livestock -- can close the loop, i.e. conserve resources, attend to environmental impact, and bring in fewer inputs? We’ll share with you the things we have done we feel to be successful and some others that we feel have not been, some of our experiments in progress, and things we hope to do in the near future. As Jesse Frost says in his new book The Living Soil Handbook, “There are no perfect tools in farming.” I might extend that to “there are no perfect answers in farming.” Join us for a farm tour and discussion around the imperfect, the promising and the befuddling approaches, ideas, successes, and “the word is still out” ways we are trying to close the loop here at Many Forks Farm.

Many Forks Farm is located on 20 acres along the North Branch of the Hoosic River in Clarksburg, MA and grows 2-acres of vegetables, berries, herbs and flowers for an 85-household CSA, a farm stand, a spring plant sale, a fall stocking up sale, and a farm processing kitchen.
