In addition to looking at cover cropping, we will discuss Pennypack\u2019s cultivation practices between and within rows to maximize crop production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the primary components of Pennypack\u2019s soil health program is the use of cover crops during all four seasons to build soil structure, prevent erosion, and manage weeds. Pennypack uses a wide variety of cover crops on the farm, including nitrogen-fixing legumes such as crimson clover, vetch, and peas, as well as grasses that provide organic matter, such as oats and Sudan grass. They also use innovative cover crops such as teff grass and winter wheat in the walkways between crop beds to prevent erosion and weed growth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farm managers Kirstie and Steph will be sharing their experience with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)\u2019s Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), which supports their farm in developing diverse cover crop mixes to meet their farm\u2019s sustainability and soil health goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t leave early!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We will be enjoying locally made seasonal pie and ice cream to end our evening together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Notes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear <\/strong>for the tour at Pennypack Farm &amp; Education Center.
