Join us at the St. Johnsbury Farmers' Market on Saturday 7/19 from 10-12pm with all your soil questions! Bring 2 cups in a ziploc bag from your garden for an instant lead test, courtesy of NRCS, or bring a representative sample from each of your fields and get help filling out the UVM mail in submission form for a more comprehensive nutrient analysis.

We will also be available to assist with soil sampling planning for meeting VT Required Agricultural Practices. Please bring maps of your fields, or email us ahead of time for assistance.
