No, we are not a certified organic farm, nor do we imply, suggest or ever claim to be.
We do use certified organic seeds and well water for our garden. Irrigation water is oftentimes contaminated with roundup and other poisons, which is why we don't use it.
We do not use any pesticides or chemicals EVER in, near or around our garden.
We do not spray our plants with anything unnatural.
We do use compost that is made right here on the farm. Fertilizer and other compost you buy at stores are often full of contaminants. We know exactly what is in our compost, or more importantly what is not in it - as we make our own!
We do offer products from a certified organic farm or business, and those products are labeled as such.
Any food items that we sell not grown on our farm, is sourced from certified organic sources, or other local farms who use the same "clean" processes that we do.
We do have organically grown practices but are not a "Certified Organic Farm." We only sell to our members, not the general public, as we are a Private Membership Association.
