Noah Scalero from Beet Root Farm gave visitors a tour of his farm and discussed his no-till methods for managing his acreage. He also explained how they used crop planning to grow intensively for profit on a small scale and shared his experience in starting a farm from raw land. The event highlighted how farms like Beet Root, which offered over 30 varieties of produce to CSA members and local markets, are vital to our local food economy.

In addition, Food Works' own Ellen Esling was there to talk about the new Food Works Mobile Farmers Market. This new program was created to connect communities in the southern 13 counties with locally sourced, fresh foods and sustainable products, offering a crucial sales platform for local farmers while providing access to nutrient-dense food for communities with limited options.
