Select plantings of beneficial attracting plants and pollinators, raise guinea hens in the fenced garden// chickens are in mobile coops and movable fencing and are rotated on fresh pasture grass, ducks and geese run free range, and then go in fencing at night..they both eat non gmo, soy and corn free feed & scratch. I also ferment their feed for less waste & probiotics. They also are routinely supplemented with apple cider vinegar with garlic in their water once a week as well as adding cayenne, oregano & cinnamon in feed for preventative and respiratory care and a health happy flock. I have a greenhouse and applied for NRCS high tunnel. I am not certified organic, but growing by organic practices. I am really good at growing covercrops :) I am doing a sunflower block this year! I silage tarp, broadfork, and practice low till farming. We built a compost tea bubbler and spray regular applications. I now have 3 areas in production to practice crop rotation. 1/2 acre total in cultivation. I am on 11 acres here, and tending the land with care and transforming it from a yard to a farm, utilizing natural resources and water swales, incorporating animals Into the landscape, and making healthily natural habitats.
