HOW WE FARM
- Utilize sustainable growing methods that:
- Improve our soil with the use of compost, organic mulches, cover crops, and minimal tilling;
- Minimize the impact on local ecology by limiting erosion, avoiding excess fertilizers, maintaining riparian buffers, and leaving large tracts of the farm property as wildlife habitat;
- Limit the use of pesticides by utilizing crop rotation, companion planting, encouraging natural predators, and using only pesticides approved for organic production when necessary.
- Practice animal husbandry that avoids inhumane conditions, promotes animal health, and limits the use of unnecessary medications.
- Avoid the use of genetically modified seeds and other products both on the farm and in the market.
- Our employees are our most important assets, and working conditions will be designed to maintain their safety and well-being.
