FCC Gardeners to Tour Fiddlehead Farm



Learning from the Experts

First Christian Church Berryville Community Gardeners will tour Fiddlehead Farm at 3:30 PM this coming Saturday (March 14) to learn from one of Carroll County's most expert Market Gardeners, Dr. Fred Mayer. Community Gardeners will see how beds are prepared using the no till method, learn basic organic gardening practices, and be helped to identify what plants need to thrive in newly prepared gardens. Mayer, one of the area's most diversified small farmers, also produces free range eggs for area restaurants.

Members wanting to take the tour should be at the church at 3:10 on Saturday. The visit was arranged by Kari Keever.
