After growing fruit conventionally for decades, we decided to make the transition to organic back in 2001. The decision to make this change was two fold. In response to climate change and the rapid depletion of resources, our family felt we needed to take a more sustainable approach to agriculture. By eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, inorganic fertilizers and by drastically reducing our reliance on fossil fuels we have brought our farm back into a more balanced relationship with our natural surroundings.
