Here is an Insider look at what is in this week's CSA box. It's all freshly harvested direct from our farm. This week we have some new surprises, including beets! Contact us if you're interested in getting a box. #eatfresh #organic #local #naples
Minimum tilling . Great tool . #organicfarming #floridafarming #tilther
Shallow tiling and deep forking when the soil is dry during the day causes the least amount of damage to our beneficial organisms like our earth worms who go deeper into the soil searching for humid cool environment. a must for (aware) organic farming.
When time is right.. we have replaced our earth worm breeding station , harvesting and casting collection station to a pre washing and storage section. After spending thousands of dollars and years into spreading worms and casting all over our beds, it is time to create space for our next step in becoming an efficient awesome organic farm.
Our main goal is to grow vegetables. Our hens are just a process in our practice that ties it all together. We are not ranchers and do not promote ranching unless it is sustainable. we have the exact amount of hens needed to process our non sellable greens and left over kitchen scraps..
Organic grades (A,B,C,D,F)should be applied in labels. Organic what % show me... I want to meet the farmer... I want to see the farm.. our doors are open come visit and learn or share ideas. trust yourself when possible rather than a standardized label.
Three hard working horse. Especially the white one. Working hard all day so we can collect their manure.
This is where we get our fertilizer. One man's trash another man's treasure
Neighbors unwanted pines that we save from burning and turn it into a beautiful yellow gold mulch. Over time this will all break down and become rich black soil. Hard to find 100% natural and ecologically responsible compost anywhere so we decided to make it our own.
We practice minimum till methods and make sure the chickens are involved in the process. Lots of insects and the soil becomes easier for them to Digg. Chickens are natural tillers
Weed management with chickens in a system where the soil get the most out of everything and so do the chickens.
Burning weeds and insects
