Free*This is a TB3 event, worth 3 points*
Learn about sustainable practices on a 13-acre farm in the CVNP! You will tour the farm, and meet owner Sasha Miller. Sasha will demonstrate why you should care about local sustainable food production, and what you can do to support it. Learn about how what happens at Purplebrown connects directly with sustainable practices you can do at home with your own landscaping/foodscaping and outdoor space.
About the Farm: Purplebrown has planted a cider orchard on mulched, contoured diversified rows to make natural hard cider. They raise pork, grow mushrooms, and sell eggs, herbs, veggies, and flowers as part of a holistic system. Purplebrown Farm is part of the Countryside Initiative Program, which began in 1999 to rehabilitate approximately 20 picturesque old farms that operated in the valley from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century. As agriculture disappeared from the valley in the 20th century, these farms fell into disrepair. Through the Countryside Initiative program, the National Park Service celebrates farming and healthy land practices that help both the farmers and land.
