Benefits of Companion Planting & Value-Added Enterprises at Walker Homestead
RSVPs appreciated for refreshments following the event by July 28.
At this field day, Kristy and Bob will walk us through their on-farm research project investigating the benefits of companion planting alongside their vineyards as a solution for pest management. We’ll learn about their various enterprises and how they integrate agritourism at the homestead. Light refreshments will be provided, and wine for tasting.
The Farm:
Kristy and Bob Walker started Walker Homestead near Iowa City, Iowa, in 2013, which includes an organic market garden, an orchard and vineyard, pasture and crop ground and a small venue. They’re hoping to add winter wheat to their crop ground.
