In this video, Heidi Rader talks to Jeff Bringhurst ,who grows local organic food for the Village of Igiugig with about 70 residents, with help from a few WWOOFers and others. They have two greenhouses and two high tunnels as well as chickens. They used wind to power the operation.
Bringhurst says, “I didn’t grow up a farmer so I’m learning all this myself. I’ve been doing this for seven years now. I’ve definitely had my share of mistakes.
"I’ve never grown with grow lights When I purchased these, I had my seedlings started and I thought the more light the better. I lowered them down to about 18 inches off the top of the seedlings and I turned them [the lights] up full blast and it didn’t take but two days before all the seedlings were fried.”
