SUMMARY:ASCFG Farm Tour: Daveco
DESCRIPTION:Hosts Clarence Denton and Lou Lemont of Daveco \nDetails: \n\nLimited to 32 attendees\nRegistration costs $50.00. Registrations are taken on a first-come\, first-served basis and fees are refunded only in case of emergency.\nRegister here!\n\nWhat started in 2016 as a small (15 x 32) hoophouse to grow landscape flowers and plants is now four large tunnels (5000 sq. ft.)\, and several garden areas growing cut flowers for florists in the Wichita area. Starting small and increasing our production and sales each year has allowed us to grow into our market. All our crops are grown within 50 steps of our processing and cooler area. Efficient flower farming on a small scale through succession planting\, and growing in tunnels has helped us triple our sales in three years. We plan to demonstrate the stand-up planter—custom-built for our farm—and other creative ideas to make flower farming a bit easier. Information on tunnels\, shade cloth\, pests\, and supports for our crops will also be discussed. \nWe have invited several of our florists to visit with our grower attendees. We know they have lots of question to ask of them. They have been a wealth of information for us since we started in 2018. We will have dahlias\, sunflowers\, celosia\, and dusty miller still growing in the tunnels at the time of our tour. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:ASCFG Farm Tour: Fernabelle Acres
DESCRIPTION:Host Emily Watson of Fernabelle Acres \nDetails: \n\nLimited to 75 attendees. Registration closes on Thursday\, September 8.\nRegistration costs $100.00. Registrations taken on a first-come\, first-served basis and the fee refunded only in case of emergency.\nRegister here!\n\nAfter 12 years of growing on a half an acre\, Fernabelle Acres is building towards 8 acres for this year with the possibility for much more. Come and join us on our new farm and see the adventure happening in real time. This is our second season on the new farm and we are in the process of scaling up rapidly. \nI worked with the FSA to get funding for a 36-acre farm field. I’ll talk a little bit about the process of finding the farm and working with the FSA for financing. Then we’ll break up into groups and tour the farm where we will discuss some of the decisions we have made and the growing pains we have experienced. Joe Schmitt will be on hand to share some of his favorite time- and labor-saving tips and tools. Afterwards we will have an optional social hour. We’ll provide light refreshments and you bring your camp chair. \nSponsored by:
