Lewes market sponsors Lean Farm workshop Feb. 2
The Historic Lewes Farmers Market is sponsoring a full-day workshop with farmer and author Ben Hartman from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 2, at Lewes Public Library.
Hartman will present The Lean Farm: How to Apply the Lean System on Any Farm to Increase Efficiency and Profits With Less Work. He will give examples of the lean system in action at Clay Bottom Farm in Goshen, Ind., where Hartman and his wife Rachel Hershberger make their living on less than one acre. They grow and sell specialty produce to restaurants, at a farmers market and through cooperative CSAs.
The workshop cost is $40. Lunch, coffee and refreshments will be provided. Financial assistance is available.
