SUstainable agriculture
As an organic and sustainable farm, our work is based on a continual regeneration of the soil and creating a farm eco-system that is thriving with biological diversity. This is being done through cover crops, large-scale composting, crop rotations, worm bins and vermicast foliar sprays, natural and organic pest repellants, beekeeping, and a continual exploration for the most adaptable, disease-resistant variety of food crops to grow.
Sustainable agriculture also focuses on the triple bottom line – on the social, environmental and the financial. Our goal is to meet all three of these components. This involves the farm contributing to a thriving local economy, increasing the health and vitality of our land, and becoming financially self-sustaining while providing our workers with a fulfilling livelihood and a living wage.
