Production Practices
Use Only Organic Materials Non Gmo Antibiotic And Hormone Free
I follow all the organic rules, but I'm not certified organic. Organic certification is expensive and time-consuming, and I prefer just to tell customers how I grow things. I use almost no pesticides, and what I do use is organic approved. I fertilize with only compost and horse manure, no chemical fertilizers of any kind. And of course no herbicides. To prevent weeds I use exclusively mulch and rototilling.
