Fair Fields is a family-run market garden in Neustadt growing non-certified organic asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn and honey. They sell primarily through u-pick and farm gate, with some wholesale. With a focus on improving the health of the soil and the neighbouring woods, springs and pond, their regenerative practices are aimed at reducing tillage and enhancing edge habitats and biodiversity.

Join this field day for an in-depth look at how Fair Fields’ primary farmer Devan Penney has sustained and grown their organic strawberry and asparagus production – two crops that are notoriously troublesome for many ecological growers! Bring your sun hat and your questions.
