All of our food is grown by us, on our farm in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania.
We are small-scale, ecologically-minded and health-oriented.
This means:
Absolutely NO synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides
Low-till/low-impact cultivation
Soil protection through cover-cropping and mulching
Added organic matter through composting
Natural pest and disease management through crop rotation
Low plastic/low waste growing practices and packaging
Planting of flowers to support beneficial insects
Sequestration of carbon through planting trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, and ground cover
Use of hand tools and selective mowing to reduce fossil fuels
Protection of local waterways and habitat through riparian buffer plantings
Mulching of annual and perennial crops to increase water retention, fungal activity and soil health
Minimal reliance on off-farm inputs like mined fertilizers
A longterm focus on transitioning from annual crops to a perennial, permanent agriculture, supplying fruit and nuts to our local community year round
