We are currently farming just under 5 acres. Almost 2 of the 5 acres are devoted to certified organic blueberries. We use only fertilizers which are certified organic from companies such as Gardenville, Rabbit Hill Farm, Maestro Grow, etc. We start 90% of our spring and early summer seedlings by seed in our 2 greenhouses. We use only organic potting soil from Gardenville. Crops such as radishes, mustard greens, turnip greens, carrots, cream peas, and sweet corn are seeded directly in the fields. Only certified organic seed is used unless it is unavailable. Before the field crops begin to bloom we use an organic foliar spray composed of certified organic liquid fish, seaweed, molasses, and humate.
