HAND-GROWN FOOD
We grow everything at a human scale. Crops are cultivated and harvested by hand at frequent intervals so that our produce has the texture, appearance, and most importantly, the flavor that our customers desire. We do not spray any pesticides or herbicides (organic or otherwise) because we don’t think chemicals taste good. We trellis many of our crops by hand in order to grow healthier plants and promote ripening.

HEALTHY SOIL
We nurture our soil by minimizing tillage and promoting a healthy soil structure. We use compost, cover crops, and green manures to maintain high levels of organic matter and nutrients for our plants. We use straw and other biodegradable mulches to maintain soil moisture, conserve water, and control weeds.

COMMUNITY ACTIVISM
We partner with community organizations that support local agriculture in an effort to make what we grow available more people in our area. We participate in local food education projects and provide meal prep suggestions at our farmers’ market stands. We donate extra produce to local food pantries because we want to do our part in the struggle to reduce food waste.
