Penn State Extension Master Gardener Coordinator Lori Wallace has organized a wonderful tour of Fruition Seeds Farms on Thursday, September 6 through the Montrose Area Adult School. This tour will focus on organic gardening, seed saving and building resilient communities through seed. We will visit their greenhouse/high tunnel and acres of certified organic land in both seed production and cover crops. Hands-on seed cleaning demonstrations and tastings are included. You will be able to ask questions about seed harvesting, cleaning and packaging plus get information on GMO's and organic verses certified organic as well. And everyone will return home with a packet of seed, compliments of Fruition. This is a farm, so expect uneven terrain and a bit of walking. There is a small store also to make purchases.
Fruition Seeds cultivates over 300 varieties of certified organic vegetables, herbs and flowers. They select varieties for early maturity, productivity and disease resistance specifically for the short seasons of the Northeast. Fruition would also be honored to serve everyone lunch in their home. They have plenty of seating for everyone. A simple vegetarian meal from the farm, plus dessert and tea will be served, for a fee. Or, simply pack a lunch. Afterwards we will be able to explore the nearby town of Naples, NY and do a little local shopping on our way home.
Attendees will meet the van at the Price Chopper Parking lot in Montrose by 8:30am. The passenger van has limited seating so there is a limit of 11 people! Don't wait to sign up. If you prefer, you may drive yourself and meet us there. Travel time is just over 2 hours.
For more information or help registering call Penn State Extension Office at 570-666-9003; or email: susquehannamg@psu.edu.
