The Old Fort at Hesperus has scheduled an open house July 31 to introduce the public and potential growers to the Market Garden Incubator project, which starts again in the fall.

The incubator program provides training in all aspects of crop growing and marketing for aspiring growers. Visitors will tour the 6.5-acre incubator training grounds.

Wear good shoes for walking and be prepared for inclement weather. No dogs are allowed in growing plots.

There is no charge, but RSVP to Beth LaShell at 385-4574 or lashell_b@fortlewis.edu
