We are going for it this year. 3000 strawberry plants are going in the ground as we speak. I have to get back to planting.

Hi Andrew. Can you tell me how you calculate how many shares you can produce for X amount of planted land? I imagine you start with some sort of mix of vegetables that represents a box over a season (e.g., 10% broccoli, 5% chard, 5% leeks, etc.) and somehow determine that you can fill X boxes per week with this mix. How do you do it?

Three farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
