Are you Certified Organic?
No, we are not Certified Organic. We sell direct to our customers and have not found the paperwork and annual fees to become certified necessary for our business. We build relationships with our customers, are open about our production methods and happy to answer any questions. We are focused on building soil health through crop rotation, cover cropping and minimal tillage. Healthy soil grows healthy crops. You can read more about how we grow here. Please reach out if you have any questions.
