We are proudly certified organic by MOFGA and the Real Organic Project and dedicated to an ecological approach to agriculture where our primary goal is building and maintaining soil fertility. We utilize a combination of tractor-scale, hand-scale and no-till growing methods. Roughly 75% of our sales are from an on-site farm store with the remainder from local direct marketing to restaurants, co-ops, etc.
