Fall cover crops

At this time of year most fields are looking brown after the farmers have tilled in all of the crop residues. Then over the winter the soil freezes, breaks down into a fine dust and is blown away by the chill winds.

At Amarosia our farm still looks green! We plan to hold onto our soil thank you:-)
