MOFGAs Farm Training Project Workshop Thinking Outside the Vegetable Box Monday, August 25, 5 p.m. 3 Level Farm, 149 Vassalboro Road, South China 3 Level Farm, at its South China location, was started in November 2011. The vision is to develop a viable, diversified farm organism -- built around the concepts and practices of biodynamic agriculture -- that provides food, shelter and income for up to eight households during the next 10 to 20 years. The 145-acre property consists of a woodlot, a 44-tree apple, peach and pear orchard, small fruits, pasture, cropland, a year-round brook and abundant wildlife. The potential for integrating a variety of enterprises to accomplish the vision is already visible and will develop with each passing season. Forest products, grains, fruit, livestock -- dairy goats (for meat, milk and cheese), pigs, poultry -- and vegetable production, some marketed through the farm store, all play a role in the work that has begun. The partners are somewhere beyond the dreams of the planning sessions and are making their way toward viability. Come hear their story. May it inspire you to stretch a little further. The tour and presentation are followed by a potluck supper and discussion. Please bring a dish or something fresh from the farm to share, along with a place setting.
