Matthew's presentation on soil health will take place in the Pavilion in our mango grove.

3:00 pm to 4:00 pm 

Matthew Scott currently lives and works at Gladheart Farm in Asheville, NC growing market vegetables in a low till regenerative fashion. Matthew has been practicing organic and regenerative farming for the past 15 years in northern Virginia as well as Asheville, NC. At Gladheart Farm they have a 2 acre market garden with permanant 30 inch beds worked by hand and with a walk behind tractor. Mathew and the crew there provide for their intentional community of about 35 people as well as an "On Farm" farmer's market and offsite farmer's market and some wholesale accounts. Matthew will be discussing how he is  implementing soil building practices such as cover cropping, no till / low till methods, and appropriate tools in the market garden. He will also touch on small scale rotational grazing with their goat, cow, laying hens, and broiler chickens.
