We are committed to sustainable agricultural production.

Our farming techniques include innovative strategies to help protect our land, environment, and quality of life for our families, employees, and community. We are dedicated to producing fresh, safe, and healthy fruits and vegetables for our families and yours. Here are some of the ways we utilize Integrated Pest Management to help our crops.

+ DRIP IRRIGATION / FERTIGATION
Reduces water and fertilizer use and prevents “splash” which helps control diseases

+ CROP ROTATION
Breaks up pest cycles

+ VARIETY SELECTION
Planting varieties at a suitable time and in a suitable place to help limit plant stress (We are not growing any GMOs at this time.)

+ NO-TILL PRODUCTION
Preserves moisture and prevents erosion by not disturbing the soil

+ PLANTING COVER CROPS
Helps prevent soil erosion, suppresses weeds, and enhances soil quality by increasing organic matter    

+ NATURAL PEST PREDATORS
Using beneficial insects to control harmful ones

+ PLASTIC MULCH
Suppresses weeds, retains moisture

+ RAISED BEDS
Provides better water drainage which helps to control diseases

+ USING ORGANIC OR LOW TOXICITY SPRAYS
When needed and available, with responsible and strategic purpose

+ UTILIZING NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLANS
Using soil testing to manage fertility

+ PLANT TISSUE TESTING
To help diagnose plant health problems
