Growing Onions, Garlic, and Other Alliums with Ethan Buchanan-Valenti

Sunday, March 15th from 1–2:30 PM at Beetlebung Farm

Gathering at Beetlebung Farm in Chilmark, this workshop will begin with a walk around our regenerative fields and tunnels. We'll discuss growing in general with a focus on growing regeneratively. We'll take a look at different methods, practices, tools and infrastructure we have and use here on the farm. We'll then have a seat and talk about the specifics about alliums. We'll discuss varieties and types, including onions, garlic, scallions, and leeks. We'll discuss tips, tricks, and challenges for the farm or garden: everything from sowing and growing to harvesting, serving, and storing. Questions are encouraged throughout. Dress warmly!
