The Illinois Beginning Farmers Program is
offering two upcoming webinars that may be of interest to you.
Growing Garlic for Market
August 15, 2013 12:00 -
1:00 pm

Consumers are using more garlic in
their diets than ever before. Because of increased consumer demand, many
market farmers and Community-Supported Agriculture organizations (CSAs) are now
offering garlic as one of their standard seasonal products. Garlic fits
perfectly into the small farm niche, benefiting both the grower and the local
consumer.
The webinar will be held on August
15 from 12:00 noon until 1pm. It will cover growing requirements, variety
selection, and management of garlic for market sales. The program will be
recorded and archived for viewing at your convenience.
Growing Vegetables Year-Round
August 30, 2013 at 12:00 noon - 1:30 pm
To register, click here.
An Extension webinar will provide
information to market vegetable growers on how to grow crops year round.
The basics of vegetable variety selection, planting considerations, watering,
and harvest will all be covered. The time to think about production is
now. Greens, roots, and other crops can all be grown and harvested
through the winter in this climate. Attend this web program and find the
knowledge and inspiration you'll need to eat, grow, and sell more produce
throughout the year! The session will be delivered as a webinar.
You can attend from home via your personal computer.
