Join Howard Prussack of High Meadows Farm, University of Vermont Agricultural Engineer Chris Callahan and Cornell Cooperative Extension Vegetable Specialist Crystal Stewart for a field walk discussing garlic and onion production and postharvest handling. The event will include a focus on Fusarium control practices, a hands-on demonstration of Allium Leaf Miner identification and discussion of control strategies, followed by a discussion of post-harvest handling best practices and ways to achieve these conditions at your farm.

Curing garlic in a high tunnel. The garlic is carefully stacked to allow air distribution among the heads for even curing.

Situated just a short drive from the center of Putney, VT, it is Vermont’s oldest certified organic Farm.
