On Sunday, April 24, 10 a.m., Mr. Nevin Dawson will give a sermon entitled “Our Living Soil” for the Unitarian Universalists of the Chester River, 914 Gateway Dr., Chestertown.The land on which we grow our food and fiber crops is not a sterile medium, but is instead a living ecosystem. The management actions of the farmer determine whether the soil thrives with beneficial fungi, bacteria, and invertebrates, or struggles with pests, pathogens, and low fertility. With world population growth driving increased demand for food, healthy soil is essential in the movement to sustainably increase the yield potential of farm fields while minimizing environmental impacts. Colchester Farm CSA is a local example of community supported agriculture that follows many best management practices for building soil health while producing fresh and nutritious vegetables for the community.
