#CTgrown dried beans?!?!? We’re in love. Not all our farmers carry these because it can take up a lot of space, time etc. but when they do-you should snatch them up!!!!

Plenty of our folks that are farming in the state are on rented land, or are waiting to buy land to start their farming business. If you are one of those farmers (or know one of them) OR want to sell some land to a farmer this event is for you!!! Check out this Farmland Mixer put on by @uconnextension's Solid Ground Program, and partners, and learn about assessing land, meet other land owners and/or farmers and meet service providers who want to help you!

So glad that these amazing farmers went around the state this year teaching folks in Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven amazing new skills in Urban Farming. They shared their knowledge on Micro-greens, growing on a budget, making your own amendments, hydroponics, using your products for value added products, companion planting and so much more. Shout out to @ms.laurenlittle @micro2life_microgreens and @samadgardensinitiative. You totally #heartctgrown

At the @newctfarmers Fall Shindig yesterday when the younger farmers in the state get together as the growing season comes to a close, and share the joys (and pains) of the season. Love seeing farmers gather and build community!!!

Worm facts! These guys are helping make our soil work!
RePosted from• @park.city.harvest.llc Quick worm facts:: After earthworms mate, their fertilised eggs are held in a protective cocoon. The baby worms (hatchlings) will emerge and burrow into the soil, where they grow into a juvenile state (which you’ll mainly see in this video) will then mature adult worms to continue the cycle! So now we have to get them out the cold and find a secure location for future breeding. #stayloyaltothesoil #pcharvest #farmlife #vermicompost #CTfarms #CTfarmers #Worms #HealthySoil #CTgrown #heartCTgrown
