Pesticide-Free
We do not spray our crops. We have no pesticide licenses, and we don’t own a sprayer. We think it’s better to lose a crop and replant than to deal with poisons and nonsense.
Herbicide-Free
We do not use herbicides. We use straw mulch, hand tools, mechanical cultivators, and ground fabric for weed control.
Non-GMO
All our seeds and plants are non-GMO and sourced primarily from High Mowing Organics, Johnny’s Organics, and Holmes Seeds with preference always toward heirloom varieties.
Fertilizers
We use manures, nitrogen-rich and organic fertilizers.
Animal Health
We don’t use antibiotics, growth hormones, or other shortcuts. Rather, we respect animals and raise them as our family has for generations - outdoors, in the sun, and on grass.
Soil Health
We maintain year-round cover crops to increase soil health, to increase our farm’s biodiversity, and to attract pollinators while providing a valuable corridor to surrounding conservation land.
