Growing Grains in Massachusetts

Have you ever still been hungry after eating a big, homegrown salad and wished that you grew something more…substantial?  Grains and beans can be grown and harvested at any scale to add diversity to your dinner table, CSA share, farm stand, and crop rotation. Come to Alprilla Farm to learn how we grow and process wheat, barley, flint corn, popcorn, and dry beans as part of a soil building, organic crop rotation with vegetables. NOFA/Mass presents this workshop, hosted and led by Noah Kellerman of Alprilla Farm. Growers of all levels of experience and all scales of production are welcome! A farm tour and discussion will be followed by locally grown pizza from our wood fired cobb oven. Please feel free to bring something to share. Pre-registration is required. To register and for more info, click here.
