We raise our vegetables in a sustainable manner, to ensure high quality produce and safe, healthy food. Our intention is to not use any chemicals on our vegetables. At times it is necessary, and an organic or natural product will be used first, and as a last resort a non-organic one. We never use chemicals, organic or non, on plants that are flowering or have fruit, and if a non-organic is used it will be stated in the product description at the Farm Stand. Chemicals will only be used on and as needed basis, not on a scheduled cycle.
Our season is always changing. Every year we add new vegetables and try to extend our season by planting more spring and fall crops.
