Our Growing Practices
While we are not an organically certified farm, we do use many organic processes in our operation.
In our greenhouse we utilize drip irrigation for cucumbers and tomatoes to reduce disease, but then switch to overhead irrigation when we plant salad greens in the shoulder seasons.
Soil is the heart of a farm as it provides so much of what our crops need to thrive. We use organic fertilizers, mineral amendments and compost to keep our soil healthy and thriving. During the off season, we also plant cover crops to support soil health.
To keep pest and disease damage under control, we use a process of careful seasonal crop rotation. This helps prevent pests from building up year after year. We are also constantly on the lookout for signs of disease to catch any issues before they get too bad. When necessary to prevent devastation, we treat our crops using OMRI-certified biologics used to target specific pests.
We cultivate our fields by tractor and keep weeds in check using an eco-weeder, flame weeder and our trusty hands!
We utilize a combination of under and above ground irrigation, a water reel and drip tape for a select number of crops to optimize watering and reduce weeding.
Finally, we source non-GMO and organic seeds whenever possible.
