The University of Minnesota Extension Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships (RSDP) and Owl Bluff Farm will co-host an open house from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, June 21 to celebrate the completion of the state's first farm-scale deep winter greenhouse.
Media and photographers are invited to the event, including opening remarks (1 p.m.), a ribbon cutting and announcements (1:30 p.m.), a winter crop production demonstration (2:30 p.m.), and tours of the farm-scale deep winter greenhouse and a question-and-answer period to follow.
The event, held on the farm about 45 minutes east of Rochester, is free and open to the public. RSVPs are required at z.umn.edu/OwlBluffOpenHouse.
This project, supported by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, brings together small- and medium-scale fruit and vegetable growers with University of Minnesota researchers from Extension, the College of Design and CFANS (College of Food Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences) to develop the next generation of innovative, sustainable winter food production technology.
