Page 2 Vermont Country Sampler, October 2010 Tunbridge, VT 4th Annual Northeast Animal-Power Field Days The 4th Annual Northeast Animal-Power Field Days will be held October 15–17, 2010, at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds in Tunbridge, VT. The theme for this year is: “Connecting to the Broad Community of Interest in Draft-Animal Power.” This trade fair and conference offers resources for farm- ers, loggers, and forest landowners pursuing the use of draft animals as part of their land-based livelihoods. The three days will be fi lled with draft animal power workshops, equipment demonstrations, fi eld and forest intensives, classroom style workshops, networking sessions, local food vendors, farmers market vendors, and indoor & outdoor exhibitors. There will be an equipment swap-meet. A large audience comes each year including 4-H students, college students, young farmers looking to build skills and fi nd mentors, resource individuals and businesses sharing their knowledge and tools, experienced farmers wanting to adopt new practices, and veteran teamsters sharing stories and experiences. We welcome spectators from the local community who come to see and learn more about draft animal-power and renewable energy. Presenters are featured who use draft animals on a daily basis, among of the most skilled and informed people in the northeast, such as Les Barden from NH, Jay Bailey from VT, Howard Van Ord from PA, and Sam Rich from CT, to name a few. The 2010 NEAPFD is a full weekend of workshops, panel discussions, draft animal and equipment demonstra- tions, and, of course, the beautiful draft horses and oxen. On Thursday, October 14th there will be a community potluck dinner in the evening. Bring a dish to share and come see old friends and make new ones. Friday, October 15th will feature fi eld and forest working demonstrations at Howevale Farm, adjacent to the Tunbridge Fairgrounds. There will be animal-powered equipment, from current manufacturers and innovators, exhibited and dem- onstrated in real working situations, with horses, oxen, and mules providing opportunities to gain intensive exposure; fo- cusing on skills, techniques, and applications of the featured Ray Cote skidding wood with his steers in the Woodland Demos. photo by Lisa McCrory equipment by regional experts.

  • Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual
    PB 1854 Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual 1 Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual Contributing Authors Alan B. Galloway Area Farm Management Specialist [email protected] Megan Bruch Leffew Marketing Specialist [email protected] Dr. David Mercker Extension Forestry Specialist [email protected] Foreword The authors are indebted to the author of the original Production of Christmas Trees in Tennessee (Bulletin 641, 1984) manual by Dr. Eyvind Thor. His efforts in promoting and educating growers about Christmas tree production in Tennessee led to the success of many farms and helped the industry expand. This publication builds on the base of information from the original manual. The authors appreciate the encouragement, input and guidance from the members of the Tennessee Christmas Tree Growers Association with a special thank you to Joe Steiner who provided his farm schedule as a guide for Chapter 6. The development and printing of this manual were made possible in part by a USDA specialty crop block grant administered through the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The authors thank the peer review team of Dr. Margarita Velandia, Dr. Wayne Clatterbuck and Kevin Ferguson for their keen eyes and great suggestions. While this manual is directed more toward new or potential choose-and-cut growers, it should provide useful information for growers of all experience levels and farm sizes. Parts of the information presented will become outdated. It is recommended that prospective growers seek additional information from their local University of Tennessee Extension office and from other Christmas tree growers. 2 Tennessee Christmas Tree Production Manual Contents Chapter 1: Beginning the Planning ...............................................................................................

We are Tgrateful every fall for the twenty-plus varieties that are provided during the peak of apple sea- son for our customers’ enjoyment! It was the cold wet winter of 1984 when Tim Bates and Karen Schmitt began taming the wild property that is now their apple farm. Today, more than 3 genera- tions join together to care for The Apple Farm and this family affair is one that is enjoyed by all! “Our years of working the farm led us from conventional practices, through transi- tion, and on to many years of being certified organic. We want to continue to evolve and have chosen biodynamic farming as a framework in which we can further de- velop our relationship with our farm. It is an endlessly fascinating endeavor and we are all energized by the new and old ideas that we unearth.” - from www.philoapplefarm.com Tim, Karen and family produce a wide variety of products beyond their apples. The delicious, delec- table apples that they grow later become apple syrup, apple cider vinegar and hard apple cider, to name a few.
