Small Diversified Farm Tour
Tuesday, June 28 • 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM
King William, VA
Luke Hallman is the owner and operator of a 40-acre diversified farm in King William County, providing fresh produce to markets in Virginia, DC, and Maryland. He will give a tour of the operations and describe each of his enterprises. Each year, Luke grows two acres of heirloom tomatoes, fifteen acres of melons, and ten acres of soybeans. He utilizes cover crops, crop rotation, drip irrigation, fertigation, and starts transplants in his own greenhouse.
Luke recently installed a 2-acre Muscadine vineyard that will become a you-pick operation in 2023. He also owns and maintains 35 honeybee hives and produces and sells honey. In the event of rain, this event will be rescheduled to June 30, 2022, from 9:00 am to 11:30 am.
