HOW ARE OUR PLANTS GROWN?

Soil: All our plants are grown in a mix of Vermont Compost Lite Soil Mix and Organic Pro Mix. Both Vermont Compost and Pro Mix are certified organic operations that provide high quality soil mixes for growers and gardeners alike.

Amendments: All of our soil mix is inoculated with Rootshield, an organic biological fungicide that aids in the prevention of fungal diseases like; damping-off, root rot, crown rot, and wilt caused by species of Fusarium, Phytophthora, Pythium, Rhizoctonia and other soilborne pathogens. The two active bacteria in Rootshield are: Trichoderma harzianum Rifai strain T-22 and Trichoderma virens strain G-41. Rootshield increases nutrient uptake, does not interfere with beneficial insects, and does not leave behind any residue. This is an OMRI approved and certified organic product that we use in all our transplants on the farm.

We also fertilize all our plants as needed with Neptune’s Harvest 2-4-1 Organic Fish Fertilizer.

Seeds: Our seeds are sourced from the following companies: Johnny’s Selected Seeds, Osborne Seeds, Seedway, Totally Tomatoes, Seeds From Italy, and Fruition Seeds. We purchase organic seeds when available. SEEDS ARE ALWAYS NON-GMO AND NOT TREATED.
