Enjoy a bit of Farm Show and Tell with an Asian flair on Monday, August 2, 6-8:00 pm, at vendor Edible Earthscape's farm. Farmers Jason and Haruka Oatis specialize in Asian vegetables and other specialty crops. Visitors will see:
- Greenhouse production with in-ground crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, turmeric, ginger and other crops.
- Vegetables, herbs, and flowers, including many Asian varieties.
- One-acre rice plot. Jason and Haruka are growing a Japanese variety of rice without any synthetic inputs or sustained flooding/irrigation through the season.
This event is part of a series organized by the Chatham County Center of North Carolina Cooperative Extension to educate farmers and consumers about sustainable agriculture and to increase awareness and understanding of our local food system.
Parking is very limited, so please carpool from Chatham Marketplace in Pittsboro at 5:45. Click here for directions to Chatham Marketplace, and email Debbie Roos for more information about this event.
