Previous Farmer Idea Lab Webinars:
Webinar #1: Farm Smarter, Not Harder When: Feb. 5, 2015
February Spotlight Farm: Brian Chatham, High Mountain Farms, Glendale Springs, NC. Moderated by Debbie Hamrick, NC Farm Bureau.
Access a recording of this webinar.
More information: Brian’s diversified farming operations cover 370 acres across more than 35 locations. He employs no-till and cover crops to build soil health and fertility for crops like barley, red fife wheat, flint corn and conventional corn and soybeans. Wildlife habitat is consistent along field margins, field median buffers and riparian buffers.
Brian’s niche grain markets include certified organic and organic transition production for grist mills, local bakeries, distilleries and brewers. He also sells to conventional larger scale markets such as local poultry feed mills that pay a premium for corn and soybeans. Pumpkins, winter squash, gourds and Indian corn are the base for brisk direct-to-consumer fall sales at a roadside stand. Brian will talk about his operation as well as what he sees as growing demand for local grains and how other farmers can tap in. See the promotional information used for the Feb. 5 webinar.
