The companion piece to Ariel Agenbroad's 2006 graduate project is a student farm guidebook, inspired by production manuals from established student farms such as the Cook Student Organic Farm in Rutgers, New Jersey and based on the results of planning and production over the 2006 season.
The guidebook includes information on the history, purpose and infrastructure of the Soil Stewards Organization. The production tables from the 2006 season have been updated to reflect results and have been made available as blank templates for future planning. Additional general and specific production information is presented on topics including greenhouse growing, fieldwork, and post harvest handling for direct markets.
This guidebook was printed in limited quantities and is available for download here, and is designed to serve as an orientation to and reference for the ongoing development and growth of the farm project. While intended primarily for Soil Stewards student farm management, parts of it may be adaptable for other new organic farmers in the Inland Northwest, as well.
Printed and bound copies of the guidebook may be ordered from the Soil Stewards for $10 including shipping. Email jmaynard@uidaho.edu with your order!
Current due paying Soil Stewards members may receive copies at no charge while supplies last. Click here to find out how to become a member.
