Just another day at Four Season Farm

On 9/4/13, I went to Four Season Farm to meet with Eliot Coleman and get a first-hand look at what he had planned for his presentation at the Common Ground Country Fair at MOFGA. His daughter Clara Coleman was also on hand as she was to be assisting him at the fair.

The subject will be modular moveable high tunnels, done in sections, that four people can easily pick up and move around to protect different crops as needed and to provide greater options for growers using protected cover. They were also planning to repeat the presentation at the Young Farmers Conference, being held at the Stone Barns Center for Agriculture in Pocantico Hills, NY, December 4th through 6th.

 

I took a brief walk around the farm before lunch.

 

 

Then we got to work, bending and framing.

 

 

 

 

A complete gallery of my walk around the farm and of the framing stage of this project is shown here (click on "Show info" in the upper right to view the captions that I've added for clarity).

 

Thanks!

 

Adam.
