How We Farm
We don’t grow anything we wouldn’t want our own kids to eat because our family eats from the garden, too! We don’t use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We do use a lot of organic compost and vermicompost to keep our soil, and ultimately our plants, healthy.
We also grow cover crops to reduce erosion and to feed the soil. To reduce insect and disease problems, we rotate our crops through the field. Weeds are managed without chemicals by hand-pulling and cultivating with a hoe.
We use our limited space intensively, which requires that we employ that oldest, and most versatile, of tools: our hands. With the exception of a few tasks for which we use machines, most of the work is done with either hand tools or with bare hands.
