Join OSA and Greenbank Farm at next week’s Seed Harvesting Techniques and Equipment Workshop on Monday, October 6, 2014, at Greenbank Farm in Greenbank, WA.

OSA’s Micaela Colley and Laurie McKenzie will lead demonstrations of both small equipment and hand scale threshing and cleaning, including the use of an Almaco small belt thresher and Clipper air-screen seed cleaner (now available for rent to regional growers through Greenbank Farm). The workshop will cover a wide range of vegetable crops and discussion on how regional growers can most effectively harvest and clean their seed crops at a range of scales.

Greenbank Farm is located at 765 Wonn Road, A201, in Greenbank, Washington. The workshop will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, October 6, 2014. The workshop cost is $5.00 per person and re-registration is preferred.
