YOU CAN HARVEST YOUR OWN PRODUCE ON THE FARM!

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU:  The produce you purchase from us is safer, more healty, and better tasting than what you typically would buy at a grocery store.  We use NO RESTRICTED PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, OR FUNGICIDES!

Large commercial growers worry about profit.  We typically lose money every year farming.  We continue to farm so that we can produce healthy and delicious produce for ourselves and our community.   (Did you know that some commercial potato producers use pesticides that are so toxic, it is illegal for workers to harvest the potatoes by hand becasue the soil is too dangerous to touch?)

Also, large commercial growers have to be concerned about shipping produce long distances.  Therefore they grow varieties (such as tomatoes and peaches) that are very firm (and therefore less sweet) and they harvest them long before they are fully ripe (reducing the sugar content and the nutritious value of the crop).  We don't worry about firmness of our produce because we hand pick everything and usually sell the item directly to the consumer within a few days - making bruising the tender crop less likely.   We grow the sweetest varieties we can and we let our crops fully ripen on the plant to increase flavor and vitamin content. 

Lastly, we drink the ground water and breathe the same air as our crops, so unnecessary, dangerous chemicals are not used on our plants, making them safer for you and your family.
