Rainfield Farm
LPMGA would like to give a shout out to farmer Shane Hansen for hosting our members on a tour of his farm – Rainfield Farm in New Carlise, IN. He taught us about his farming methods, which do not include the use of pesticides or synthetic chemicals, certifying his farm as a Naturally Grown farm. His process for growing cucumbers and tomatoes on strings that are lowered as the plants grow wowed even the most seasoned Master Gardener.
Learn more about the farm and where to purchase their produce @ Rainfield Farm
Thanks to Dr. Tallamy and all the attendees at our event "Saving Nature in your yard"
