West Virginia University’s Division of Plant and Soil Sciences is hosting its 3rd annual Organic Field Day on Thursday, August 5th at the WVU Organic Research Farm located on Rt. 705 in Morgantown, WV. The Field Day is open to the public and anyone interested in organic farming is encouraged to attend. The Field Day will include a wagon tour of research and demonstration plots emphasizing organic practices for growers and gardeners considering organic practices. New this year will be a series of workshops conducted for the grower wishing to get more depth on topics of greatest interest! Please pre-register for these early afternoon workshops as seating is limited. A dinner featuring organic produce grown on the Farm is planned for 6:00 PM that evening.
