Producer

Growing Practices: Although we are not certified Organic, we adhere to the OMRI standards for vegetable production in all but the most extreme cases (i.e. spreading grasshopper bait around the edges of our plots last year). We are committed to chemical-free production and our customers expect that. We rely primarily on compost for fertility and insect netting (as well as the occasional application of Bt or Pyganic) for pest control. Weeds are managed with black tarps and hand tools. Soil health is foundational to our operation. We have reduced tillage and we try to keep the soil covered with living plants, organic mulch, or green manures as much as possible, although we do utilize landscape fabric a fair amount! We grow crops intensively using the standard 30” permanent bed system. For season extension, we have 4 Farmers Friend caterpillar tunnels and we have a propagation greenhouse. We hope to get funding in 2026 for a high tunnel.
