We often get asked “are you organic?” We’ll let you make the decision.
We have chosen, for now, to not pursue the piece of paper from the USDA that says we are certified organic. That may change as our farm grows, but our core principles never will. We will always grow using sustainable and organic practices. What does this mean? It means that we build soil and fertility using compost, manure, cover crops, and natural soil amendments like bone meal, kelp, and crab shells rather than with quick synthetic nutrients from a bag. It also means that we use natural, often manual, methods to combat weeds and pests rather than taking the shortcut of herbicides and pesticides.
Farming this way often means more work for us, but the peace of mind of knowing that our kids and your kids can eat out of the field ANYTIME without worrying about their health is impossible to put a price tag on. We strongly feel that farming this way is the responsible decision. For our kids, for our community, for our planet.
You’re welcome to come by the farm and see for yourself.
