Practices
We follow organic and biodynamic principles, striving to mimic natural ecological systems on the farm. As farmers we are committed to holistic farming practices that are healthy for the community and environment. This means we practice cover-cropping, field rotation and we never use any chemicals or pesticides on our food or GMO seeds on the farm.
We use compost, legumes, and rotation with animals as our sources of soil fertility. The pasture-raised animals are key components to the farm ecosystem, revitalizing land, contributing valuable manure, keeping pest populations in check, and utilizing vegetable scraps. We are committed to farming sustainable for the sake of our vanishing farmland and future generations.
*Our farm is certified organic and all of our practices go beyond what is required by certification.
