008) Tour North Slope Organic Farm--One of the Region's Preeminent Organic Farms (In-Person)
 

It was the woodland and stream that drew Princeton native Mike Rassweiler to this 55-acre property more than three decades ago. Named for its north-facing slope that is slow to warm and only partially in sunlight, from this land Mike has coaxed some of the tastiest tomatoes, carrots, greens, flowers and teas. Mike will introduce tour-goers to practical aspects of the farm’s 30-year-old operation and focus on key elements of organic management practices. Learn how organic farmers face the challenges of gardening in the Garden State. Tour will be followed by discussion and refreshments. Dress for the weather.

NOTE: Tour is located at 386 Rock Rd E, West Amwell NJ 08530. Students may contact Mike at [email protected] with any questions.
