The Permaculture & Soil Education Outreach Project and Kentucky's NRCS have partnered to host a soil health field day at GreeneLanding, owned & operated by JoJuana Leavell-Greene.
The Legacy began at GreeneLanding at 662 Caden Lane in early Spring 2020. During the pandemic, the Greene Family started on a journey of the soil. GreeneLanding USDA Farm 327 broke ground and tilled up an approx. - 80' x 20' plot for planting and growing in Fayette County. With the success of GreeneLanding, Farm 327 turned into a large experimental garden and summer student camp.
NRCS Soil Topics:
