  • What is No Spray?
    No Spray is even BETTER than Organic growing practices as even Organic growers can use many different sprays that are considered organic. These various organic chemicals can cause problems with beneficial insects and cause allergies in people. No spray is difficult and requires us to cover our crops with fine mesh to keep the bugs out and we hand weed daily to keep the weeds away. As we progress farther in our No Till practices this will decrease?
  • What is No Till and why is it important?
    No Till has many levels within its spectrum. We do have to till our soil when we break ground to loosen the soil and get good compost into the soil the first year. After that we tilth in new compost each year after that. Tilthing is only turning up the top inch or so. Tilling on a regular basis can cause damage to the bugs beneficial bacteria and fungi in the soil This breaks down the soil life and can cause stress on the plants. Big Ag combats this by adding chemical fertilizers into the soil each year. This erodes the top soil and breaks down any true life in the soil. Studies suggest we have lost 30% of earths top soil using these common practices. By adding composted organic matter back into the soil we are farming the soil and the soil feeds our plants.
  • What is a CSA?
    CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA's are a growing industry. Big agriculture used government funding and poor practices to grow produce that most consumers eat. CSA's are small farmers growing produce the way it is suppose to be and then selling or delivering straight to the consumer. Usually CSA require a full upfront commitment to ensure they have the funds to get the product bought and funded. We offer multiple ways to order and pay.
