Practices
We extensively use organic qualifying fertilizers and limit the usage of pesticides by using plasticulture. All plants are watered with clean water that has been purified by a Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System which removes 95% of the toxins. Cleaning the water assures maximum uptake of nutrients and eliminates most salts or chemicals that may be present. The result is superior flavor as the RO water cleanses the soil. We also utilize cover crops to further enhance and purify the soil.
