We are growing vegetables on the farm since 2014, but we've been growing vegetables since 1990 always following natural methods. All our vegetables are grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. This is very important to us, because we don't want to poison our soil, or the food we eat as a family. Our Veggie Box members enjoy the same chemical-free veggies as we do.
Our farm is a host to many beneficial creatures such as insectivore birds, bats and millions of dragonfly! We allow Milkweed to grow in the fields for the beautiful Monarch Butterflies which are unfortunately declining in numbers. The most beneficial insect is the bees, from honeybees to bumble bees to the very important squash bees, without them, we'd have a hard time hand pollinating all the vegetables we grow! According to the reports, Bees are declining in population dramatically every year, every little bit we do on the farm is also to feed them.
