farming practices

We take care to honor our relationship to the land by minimizing our disturbance of natural systems. We never use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We rotate the fields in production and let them rest with cover crops and soil amendments. The fields receive tons of manure, fish emulsion, seaweed, mulch, organic materials via cover crops, and celebratory energy!
We grow all of our own seedlings. Our seeds are organic when possible and/or sourced from small, thoughtful companies such as Strictly Medicinals or Fedco. If not seeded directly, we use soil mix from locals Dirtcraft Organics.

While much of our growing takes place using a biodegradable corn-plastic mulch, we are slowly transitioning our production to a no-till system. We simply roll over the cover crop to tamp it down and after it starts to decompose we transplant the seedlings to their new home.

There is a lot of love that goes into our farm and all of our crops. Thanks for being here!
