About the event
Overview: Explore the grounds of this innovative pick your own farm in the panoramic hills of the Hudson Valley Highlands. Surrounded by picturesque backdrops, this tour offers a deep dive into the front lines of the "Quiet Revolution"—the movement to keep the valley green and relaxing for visitors looking for a quick escape from the gentrification of their living environs. Seasonal organic fruits and vegetables available, as you move through the pastures, the focus shifts from "protecting" the land to "healing" it. The tour highlights several key eco-friendly techniques:
Cover Cropping & No-Till: See fields where "living armor" (clover, rye, and vetch) protects the topsoil from erosion, a major concern with the Valley's increasingly frequent heavy rainfalls.
Carbon Sequestration: The guide explains the science of how healthy soil acts as a "carbon sink," pulling carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere to mitigate climate change.
