Organic Practices
In 2014, we purchased a fallow hay field near Cross Village with two old barns and poor, rocky soil. We work tireless tirelessly to build our soil through the use of cover crops, compost and other organic matter, and crop rotation. Healthy soil leads to healthy plants and fewer pest problems. We avoid pesticides and herbicides, using only OMRI approved products when absolutely necessary. We believe you are what you eat!
Certified Organic by Nature’s International Certification Services.
Holistic Approach
Our holistic approach to farming means taking care of all aspects of the farm in order to grow the best products. This includes planting trees and shrubs to provide habitat for pollinators and other beneficial insects, improving the soil in natural ways, conserving water and minimizing plastic use and fossil fuel consumption. We try to be kind to the planet while providing you with the most wholesome produce!
We do not use pesticides or herbicides – we believe you are what you eat!
