Our Commitment To:
Sustainable Farming
Our desire is to be a curator with the life force of earth, to cultivate in a way that works with the land and the cycles of nature. We are intentional about sustainable farming practices that lead to a healthier environment and fresh, quality produce. We are committed to using organic practices that are in alignment with our passion for clean food and respect for nature.
Permaculture Practices
How we farm reflects our environment. We choose to use permaculture farming practices that are immersed in holistic values. Our ongoing gardening efforts are always evolving as we listen to the land, consider the shifts of the seasons, and work with the natural lay of the farm. The premise of permaculture is utilizing sustainable farming practices that are in harmony with nature.
Biodynamic Philosophy
We incorporate biodynamic philosophy, an organic method of approaching agriculture that has a deep interconnectedness with the spiritual aspect of the land. We are passionate about tending the soil as a living, breathing entity, and taking into consideration various components necessary to incorporate biodiversity such as creating plantings for pollinators, crop rotations, integrating native plants, herbs, edible vegetation, and more.
