Growing Peas and Beans with Ethan Buchanan-Valenti

Sunday, March 8th 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 Beans & Peas. We'll discuss varieties and types - including bush, string, green, pole, dry, and broad beans, as well as snap, shelling, snow, field, and peas grown for shoots. 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!
