Practices
We grow our vegetables and flowers in soil improved with composted plant material and rock powders (potassium) and protected during the off-season with conservation and nitrogen-producing cover crops. The only synthetic inputs are for the correction of specific micronutrient deficiencies.
As with most growers who utilize natural methods, our pest management is a complex subject and consists of several techniques. These techniques include trap cropping, companion planting, plant spacing, planting date selection, variety selection, pest exclusion, and encouragement of habitat for beneficial predators and parasites. If commercial products are applied, they are approved by the Organic Materials Research Institute (OMRI).
