Growing Practices

Using non-GMO seeds we grow produce using "more-ganic" methods which means we do not spray any harmful chemicals for any reasons. We rely on good soil and healthy plants to avoid disease, and insect netting to protect from pests. Our goal is to minimize our fossil fuel consumption by utilizing small scale intensive plantings and distributing directly to costumers locally. Our human scale approach allows for us to farm most efficiently with minimal impact on the environment and soil life. Through the use of minimum tillage practices, compost, and mineralization we can build soil and a thriving ecosystem for plants and the microbiology feeding them. By diversifying plant species and improving soil conditions we can create a healthy relationship between insects, microbial life, and our plants. Healthy plants with good soil and a safe environment don't need chemical or even organic sprays. We strive to work with the ecological systems to have productive gardens with less impact on the environment. 

We utilize silage tarps to blot out the soil while not in production, this practice stimulates the microbiology (think of when you flip an old board that’s been sitting for awhile) while also germinating weed seeds only to deprive them of light. This helps to encourage the microorganisms to feed on any organic matter enriching the soil at the same time as flushing any early weeds that would make it difficult to get an early start. Trying our best to leave annual roots in the ground, we utilize knives to cut out weeds and colliniear hoes to cultivate and cut weeds at soil level. We prefer to wheel hoe and rake when terminating beds to help us with our goals of less tillage. We do till initially at the beginning of the season to help with bed clean up and incorporate compost and create a nice seed bed for our Jang Precision Seeder. With the help of woven ground cover we minimize weed pressure, this helps us to produce a lot of food with less effort which is great for just the two of us. After a crop in ground cover is done harvesting, the bed is nice and clean and perfect for direct sowing. This alternating of more and less soil disturbance helps keeps our soil in balance while allowing the biology to recover between disturbances. We love our Agri-Bon Row Cover and insect netting for extending the season and keeping the bugs and deer from eating everything.

Looking Forward

In the near future our goal is to buy farm land in Chester County so we can establish perennials. Our dream is to have enough land that we can continue on our path to a sustainable food production system as well as establish a forest of native trees and shrubs, a native wild flower meadow, and of course incorporate some orcharding and berries and asparagus to our selection. One step at a time we get closer to our goal and it is with the support of our community that we head in that direction, and for that we are very grateful to you.
