D-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y
spells success
Kevin and Charuth Loth know that it takes more than a diverse crop offering to be successful – it also takes diverse marketing and a niche. The Loths have four main ways they market their organic crops – most of which are grown in a greenhouse: through a farmers’ market, through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) business, at their on-farm store and to local chefs. Methyl bromide gets 1-year lease stay from phase-out Critical use exemptions granted during a late March meeting will allow some growers in the United States to continue using methyl bromide, although on a limited basis. Growers say ‘I do’ to on-farm weddings Some people start planning their wedding day as soon as they know the meaning of the word wedding – with “Here Comes the Bride” constantly playing through their mind. But where some people are getting married now conjures up images of square dances and scarecrows instead of flowing white gowns, rose petals and string quartets. And it’s not just farm kids and those on a tight budget. |
