Curious about growing your own berries or balancing farming with a full-time job? Join us for an evening at Berry Simple Farm to learn, connect, and get inspired.
Rick Crofford—owner of Berry Simple Farm and VDOT Environmental Manager—shares his approach to keeping farming simple, focused, and high-quality. From thriving rhubarb and strawberry crops to practical pest and disease management, you’ll walk away with tips you can actually use.
We’re also hoping to welcome a Small Fruit Extension Specialist from Virginia Tech for added insight.
Topics include:
• Embracing the part-time farming lifestyle
• Growing successful rhubarb & strawberry crops
• Integrating smart pest management practices
🌦️ Rain or shine unless there are thunderstorms in the area.
Come out, ask questions, and see what “keeping it simple” really looks like on the farm.
