Small Axe Farm is a small, certified organic market garden on a steep hillside in Barnet. The farm grows a diversity of crops for local markets using no-till practices. Farm owners Heidi Choate and Evan Perkins will describe their approach to managing soil health and preventing erosion on a slope, how they produce a bounty of crops with no-till methods, and how nurturing the natural habitat around the farm has reduced pest pressure on crops.
