About the Workshop:
The traditional fresh produce season for market gardeners in
the colder parts of North America begins in June and ends in
September. In defiance of long, cold Maine winters, Eliot
Coleman, a leader in American organic vegetable production and market grower for over 35
years,
has been developing an environmentally sound, resource efficient, and
economically viable system for extending fresh vegetable production
into "the other eight months.” Eliot
is the author of “The Four Season Harvest” and “The New Organic
Grower” two popular, and useful resources for every organic grower.
This workshop will cover
techniques for year round greenhouse production of organic vegetables in
cold weather climates.
