Farm Description:
    Our farm has a history of never having had chemical fertilizers in use. We are a non-profit, certified organic, Natural Agriculture, educational farm. Natural Agriculture uses NO fertilizers, not even organic, and NO animal manure. Only green (leaf) compost is used to keep the soil moist, warm and loose.

Practices:
    Everything on our farm, from planting to harvesting, is done by hand, except tilling the soil just before planting and to turn the crop under at the end of a season. We use no electricity in our green house. We implement crop rotation when necessary to insure the integrity of the soil. In Natural Agriculture amenities build in the soil naturally.

Describe your product specialties and highlights:
    We are an educational farm working with local schools on a Farm to School program. We're open for tours and open to teaching natural agriculture to those who wish to learn
