Soil Health & Organic Practices

Our approach prioritizes living soil: compost dominates, cover crops when feasible, and minimal chemical intervention. Experience-based rotations improve yield and resilience.

  • Encourage earthworm activity with diverse organic matter
  • Rotate families to reduce disease pressure
