Webinar to review methods, advantages of biointensive farming

A Mat-Su Valley farmer will discuss the methods, systems and tools used for biointensive, diversified vegetable production in a lunchtime presentation at noon on Thursday, April 16.

Brandi Jo Nyberg is the owner of Sauntering Roots Farm, a diversified vegetable operation that grows more than 30 varieties with less than an acre in production.

Biointensive farming involves maximizing small acreage to produce large amounts of food, with care for the soil at its core. Methods discussed will include bed sizing and spacing, essential tools, interplanting, and soil/plant health.

The workshop will be held in person at the UAF Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center, 1509 S. Georgeson Drive, Palmer, as well as via Zoom.
