The Farm Hub’s Research Day draws area farmers and community members.
Christine Tilley and her son Alexander are keen on farming sustainably. Tilley, a co-owner of Good Seouls Farm in Sullivan County, and Alexander recently attended Field Day an annual event hosted at the Farm Hub. The event, free and open to the public, offers an opportunity for farmers and land stewards learn about best farming practices as connected with conservation.
Alexander, a recent college graduate, is exploring agriculture careers and participating in Cornell Cooperative Extension in Sullivan County’s mentee program.
“He’s a lover of conservation, and we definitely want to make sure that we are engaged in the best farming practices, (doing) regenerative farming and learning how to do no-till,” Tilley says.
