Producer

We are a small, diverse farm on the outskirts of Indianola. We use row covers, crop rotation, soil health and variety choice to minimize pests and disease, and thus don't use any sprays of any kind. Our fertilizer is OMRI certified. We practice crop rotation, and our main sources of fertility are organic mulch, compost and cover crops. We do a lot of our work by hand, with minimal tractor use.

We grow many flowers and herbs primarily as bee habitat. Our farm could easily be mistaken for a bird sanctuary. They certainly get all of our cherries! I use (and reuse) floating row cover as our sole method of insect control. Because we’re a hyper local farm, use minimal machinery, use no energy intensive fertilizers, and reuse our materials, our methods are extremely low in carbon emissions. We are embraced by our adorable village, many folks walk to our farm , and have relied on us during this difficult time as a choice for low contact healthy vegetables.
