Thirty
Acre Farm presently has about five acres of garden space where we focus
on growing cut salad greens, flowers for bouquets as well as other
mixed vegetables and vegetables for our fermented foods. We grow almost all the vegetables for our fermented foods but occasionally buy in a bumper crop from another local organic farmer. As our pigs and chickens prepare additional ground
for planting, we are able to grow a more diverse array of vegetables.
We
are M.O.F.G.A certified organic and grow all our crops without the
use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. We use lots
of compost, hand tools and a small cultivating tractor in the garden
and strive not to disrupt the soil's own structure while increasing
fertility. We also include some biodynamic practices on our farm.
