Our Organic Certification...
We are proudly certified organic by OEFFA USDA. (OEFFA # 2446) We feel it is important that we farm without pesticides and chemicals and that we nourish our soil making it more beneficial for the next crop and for the health of our environment. We test our garlic crop thru Michigan State University and are free of garlic bloat nematode. We grow cover crops to add nutrients and we rotate our fields to control disease and pest. We use only naturally organic approved (OMRI) nutrients and fertilizers. We grow great looking and tasting garlic that you can eat or plant straight out of the box. That's how we have always grown our produce. We provide a beneficial habitat for the nature around us. We leave the flowering milk weed undisturbed for the migrating Monarch butterflies. We allow the deer to graze in our orchard at end of season. We erect Eastern Blue Bird houses on the farm inviting the birds to be a part of our ecosystem and manage bug populations. We've been known to nestle salamanders back in the wet straw in our garlic field when they pop out during garlic harvest. We are just reasonable responsible people like you. |
