Have you ever thought about becoming a farmer?

On Thursday, March 17 at 7pm, you can learn how. Andover resident, JoAnn Robichaud, will begin her sixth season operating a small-scale organic farm that she created with her late husband, Kamal Jain.  On land she leases from the Brooks School in North Andover, she grows vegetables for Bobbin Farm's CSA, World PEAS Food Hub, and the Brooks School Dining Hall.  She'll share her experience transitioning from a community gardener to a small-scale organic farmer, explore the differences between gardening and farming, and discuss some of her practices and experiments. Register online or call 978-623-8401, x31. Explore the farm at www.bobbinfarm.com.
