Steep Rock Association was a partner organization in a CT Department of Agriculture “Climate Smart Ag” grant awarded to the Northwest CT Land Conservancy (NCLC). SRA enabled two Washington farms—Averill Farm and Waldingfield Farm—to construct high tunnel hoop houses to expand their growing season for fruits and vegetables as well as protect sensitive crops from extreme weather events. A third farm—Foxhole Farm—was awarded a climate assessment through the grant. Hear more about this project from Patrick Horan, co-owner of Waldingfield Farm.
