Visit a Successful Organic Farm

This is the Stewart Organic Farm. Alan Stewart will show you how they prepare the soil, grow cover crops, use integrated pest management, and end up with luscious beans, blueberries, and apples.

Then he'll take you to the farmer's market where the produce goes fresh from the farm into your shopping bag.
