NOVIC Field Day in Washington State
Join Organic Seed Alliance and local farmers for the Northern Organic Vegetable Improvement Collaborative (NOVIC) on‐farm field day on November 18th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Field day participants can expect to learn about this four‐year collaborative project and local variety trial results of chicory, broccoli, snap peas, sweet corn, winter squash, and carrots. The field day will include taste evaluations of winter squash and carrots from this year’s local trials.
This class is being offered free of charge thanks to a grant from the USDA’s OREI program. Pre-registration is required. Please email Cathleen McCluskey to confirm your space.
