Producer

We are rebuilding the historic family farm started in 1922[0]. We use minimal-till, organic, regenerative farming practices to create an intensive diversified farm that produces fruit, berries, vegetables, mushrooms, and other farm products. We minimize the use of machinery, preferring human and/or electricity to power our farm[1]. We source our seeds from local, organic, non-GMO sources and practice seed saving where it does not adversely impact produce quality and yield[2]. Our practices include integrated pest management as well as the safe use of livestock to turn, fertilize, mow, and manage the farm.

If you would like to visit the farm to see where your produce comes from, please feel to contact us with an order number and we will happily arrange a time for you to visit.

[0] where Great Uncle Erik started it, just down the road from where Great Grandpa Erick started his in 1905. They always argued about how to spell the name which is why we're located on Erickson Lane (Grandpa Erick won that argument).
[1] as feasible and increasingly so over time as we make the investments
[2] this isn’t our first focus and can improve at producing great seedstock as compared to specialists such as Deep Harvest Seeds, Saltwater Seeds, or Uprising Seeds but we’ve had good luck with some crops such as Erik's favorite salad and garlic

We care for our and our neighbors bodies.

We care to be thoughtful and effective stewards of the land whether ours, our neighbors, or downstream.

We believe that the farm is stronger and more resilient when working with nature to strengthen the environment in positive sum manners to make it healthier and more dynamic. Many of our practices have the net effect of storing carbon in the soil. Our practices, as described above, minimize the carbon emission we produce to tend our crops and deliver them to market. We are blessed to be near some wetlands and will be planting and maintaining riparian buffers to protect those valuable ecological components of our environment. Our integrated pest management approaches will lean heavily on diversifying and supporting the beneficial organisms that can efficiently keep the farm in balance and reduce the presence of damaging pests. Social controls (labor, practices, and accepting some loss to nature) will be used over top of those to avoid, if at all possible, any use of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and so on.
