How we grow our produce: 
We grow our produce without the use of synthetic inputs or chemical pesticides.   Our ultimate goal is to grow strong, healthy crops so that they naturally resist pests.  We source non-GMO seed and use compost and natural fertilizers to feed the plants.  We practice “Integrated Pest Management” which essentially means we prioritize non-chemical methods to manage pests, such as rotating our crops, using pest deterrents, and supporting beneficial insect populations.  Occasionally we may apply an Organic-labeled pest product as a last resort to remedy specific problems. These products are composed of only natural ingredients, break down rapidly, and do no persist on the produce as compared to synthetic chemical pesticides and herbicides.
