Farm Field Day

Posted by Julia Cavicchi on September 24, 2021

We hosted a farm field day as part of our research project on trialing drip fertigation and other new application methods with different kinds of crops. The event was hosted at Hubbard, CBD, one of the farm partners for this project. With a backdrop of magnificent plants (some fertilized with urine) we shared what we’ve learned so far from our farmer collaborators and our lab research. We had a great group of both nutrient suppliers (urine donors) and nutrient users (farmer partners) at the event.

John Janisyzn, one of our farm partners in this study, surprised us at the end with a basket of urine-fertilized sweet corn! Taste-testers agree: this is the sweetest, most flavorful corn we’ve ever had (thanks, in part, to the nutrient contributions of Brattleboro’s finest!)
