Over the years we have hosted many work days and workshops on the farm to expose other farmers to techniques and experts in the fields of irrigation, plant pathology, and pollinators.
What aspect of your farming operation are you most proud of? *
Our well rounded products and sales outlets. We sell garden plants, mushroom logs, CSA shares year round, eggs, pollinator plants, native flowers and shrubs. We have a small herd of goats and flocks of chickens that move about the farm working to build the depleted Southern soils. We present an example of a young farm that is growing the entire farm model not just produce of livestock.
What aspect of your farming operation are you most known for? (This could be a particular crop beloved by customers or an uncommon production method that other farmers would appreciate.) *
We always get compliments on the strawberries... always.
What do you appreciate about Certified Naturally Grown?
The network it helps to create. With the busy nature of a farm we as farmers would never get this chance to explore other farms in our area.
