Developing Raised Field Beds 

Northeast Organic Farming Association of Rhode Island

Join us as we learn how to develop raised field beds. At Hocus Pocus Farm, raised field beds were developed for preventing water runoff and disease transmission. Learn how to develop a raised bed by adding amendments, nutrients and compost and learn how to turn over the beds once a crop is ready to be harvested for the season. Soil health and fertility will also be discussed.
 
Hocus Pocus is a small, chemical free farm located in Chepachet that is run by Courtney Sartini and Sophie Holloway. The farm is located on the property of the Listening Tree Cooperative, an organization  and host that acts as a cooperative homestead and shares facilities with three farms. Hocus Pocus runs a local farm CSA and also sells their crops, seedlings and flowers directly to nearby restaurants and retail establishments. Both  Courtney and Sophie bring a dedication of food access and sovereignty to the farm and are committed to providing the local community with a wide variety of high quality vegetables, flowers, culinary herbs, and seedlings.
