Sessions
Growing and Marketing Tumeric
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM Sat
I am currently tenant farming on an 18 acre farm in Jefferson County, outside of Shepherdstown. I have an acre plot where I grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tobacco, peppers, corn, beans, pumpkins and sunflowers. I also utilize a greenhouse with a raised bed system to grow turmeric, ginger, celery, beets, carrots, cabbage, kale, spinach and lettuce. I follow organic and no till practices but without certification. Most of what I produce is sold to a local grocer in Shepherdstown and occasionally restaurants in town.
