Growing Methods:
Wholesome Food and
a Healthy Environment
We use ecologically based sustainable farming methods on all our crops.
We use no synthetic pesticides. We fertilize using cover crops, composted animal manures, and a foliar fertilizer made of fish. |
 |
To conserve water, we use "drip" irrigation with plastic mulch on most crops. |
 |
To maintain soil health, we till as little as possible and rotate crops. |
 |
Weeds are kept down by mulching, hoeing, and hand weeding. |
 |
We plant areas of our farm as habitat for beneficial insects. |
 |
Insect pests are kept from crops using row covers, a minimum of organic pesticides, and removing them by hand. |
 |
These methods require extra work and planning, but it's worth it for us and our customers to know that our produce is as healthful as it can be and is grown in harmony with the environment.
