and we’re here to grow healthy, tasty veggies. We don’t pay for organic certification but we farm with organic principles. We don’t use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides or herbicides. Instead we rely on gentler methods to control pests and weeds such as: cover crops, manual weeding, flame weeding, floating row covers and using permanent beds to build healthy soil. We prefer to use locally produced seed from places like the BC ECO Seed Co-op, Good Earth Farms, Saanich Organics, Saltspring Seeds, ALM Farm, Metchosin Farm as well as trying out varieties from the seed swap at Seedy Saturday.
