Your Story | I am essentially retired, having worked mainly with organic certification domestically and internationally. I have done consulting and training too. However, these days, especially due to the geographic location of where I live and the nature of the community, I’m focussing on growing vegetables for own consumption. There is so much new science out there that is a significant challenge to implement for many reasons. I’m continuously learning which is really fantastic. Thank you to Lower Blackwood LCDC – the information which you so freely share is much appreciated. I just wish I could attend your field days! |
