Soil management is done to improve nutrient availability, soil
organism growth and moisture content.
- COMPOSTING: Organic waste from our packing facility is
sheet composted on our 30 acre farm to help build organic
matter.
- COVER CROPS: Our cycle of cover crops is designed to
minimize erosion, prevent soil compaction, recycle nutrients,
and provide weed control. Some of our crops include winter
rye, crimson clover, buckwheat and hairy vetch.
- NATURAL FERTILIZERS: To meet the seasonal demands of our crops an
additional supply
of nutrients is
provided from
natural fertilizers
derived from the
environment,
such as fish
emulsion and
kelp.
