Maintaining healthy soils is the key to producing nutritious fruits and vegetables, so we farm using agricultural practices that support the natural biological and chemical processes of soil. These include crop rotations, so as not to deplete nutrients, planting green "manures" which are then tilled in to the soil to enrich it, and adding animal manures, in plentiful supply in our neck of the woods, to again boost the soil. Join the email list to see what is available fresh each week. Place your order on Wednesdays and pick it up Thursdays at Hazel Artisan Bakery or at the farm on Fridays. Farm-to-You Co-op
