We only sell what is grown on the farm and do not use herbicides or pesticides. Vegetables and flowers are high quality and freshly picked. Our farm produces cut flowers and vegetables using sustainable methods of growing, thus resulting in good stewardship of the natural resources that the farm relies on. Sustainable methods of growing include:
1) No till, which will promote natural aeration and
drainage of the soil, save water, reduce weeds, maintain carbon in the soil, decrease soil erosion, decrease fuel, labour and equipment cost, and improves soil structure. This method subsequently leads to minimizing air, water, and climate pollution. This will be achieved by layering with soil, compost, and mulch over existing ground.
2) High density growing, that is, more plants per square foot. This will also be used in conjunction with succession planting and intercropping in order to make efficient use of the land and produce more food.
3) Build and maintain healthy soil by adding organic matter in the form of compost, ground cover crops, and organic fertilizers (seaweed, alfalfa, etc.).
4) Adopting agroforestry practices by mixing trees and shrubs into the operation, thus providing shade and shelter for plants and water resources. We are proudly woman owned and operated. We care deeply about the health of New Brunswickers and about taking care of the land we grow on. Waste free is what we strive for. We encourage customers to bring their own reusable container and bags when purchasing produce from the farm.
