RFN-NJ Farmer Network Tour: Mitchell Jones

Tour Description: Are you interested in improving the soil health and water quality on your farm? 🚜 There are cost-share opportunities available to help farmers do that! Join us for an RFN-NJ Farmer Network Tour at Mountain Top Farm with owner Mitchell Jones, learn about opportunities that are available, and see projects that Mitchell has implemented on his farm through those opportunities.

We’ll have representatives from NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service), SADC (State Agriculture Development Committee), and NJ RC&D (North Jersey RC&D) to talk and answer questions about their programs and the process of working with them. 

Some practices we'll see include waterways/diversions and tile outlets on Mitchell's hay and grain farm but this farm tour is for anyone interested in learning about NRCS, SADC, and NJ RC&D cost-share and grant opportunities. And as always, come to network with your fellow NJ farmers!

Some walking may be necessary within fields but we'll take a hay wagon tour or drive of the farm between fields as they are spread out.

*Please note that this tour is at 503 Montana Rd, Washington, NJ 07882. 

We will be holding this event rain or shine so make sure to bring your rain gear! If the weather report calls for heavy rains and wind with enough advance notice, we may opt to move the event indoors to 10 Maple Ave, Asbury, NJ. We will reach out by email and phone if that is the case but we're really hoping to keep it at the farm.
