At first we began growing our own food mostly just because we enjoyed doing it. Home grown food tastes better, looks better, and we know exactly how it was grown and what went in it. Eventually we decided that we didn't want to take chances feeding our family potentially unsafe food - such as the contaminated greens that have been recalled every year - and we began relying on our garden for almost all of our food.
We also love trying all the incredible varieties of vegetables that you will never find being sold in any store. Working at farmer’s market throughout the country over the last several years we've come across some unusual varieties of veggies, often given to us by farmers that have grown them in their families for generations. We quickly fell in love with the idea of growing vegetable varieties with fascinating stories that connect us to the past, and that often can not be found in your typical seed catalogs. We feel it's extremely important to preserve these old heirloom varieties that might otherwise become extinct...and so we began saving seeds.
We strongly believe that the effects of conventional farming are detrimental to the environment, the farmers who are exposed to the chemicals used, wildlife and insects, and ultimately everyone who consumes these foods. One of the best ways to eliminate our consumption and exposure to harmful chemicals is by growing our food - and seeds - in an organic system, with a focus on soil and plant health
We love the idea of a sustainable, 100% organic, permaculture garden which is completely self-sufficient. That's why our farm is entirely no till. By imitating nature and not disturbing the soil life we have created a rich, healthy environment for our crops to grow without the need for added pesticides or fertilizers.
