What they believe in: “Our vision is to run a sustainable farm that can feed our family and provide fresh healthy food to the community. In meeting our goals toward sustainability, we have moved away from the use of commercial fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. We are also setting up relationships with companies to reduce food waste that can be consumed by our animals rather than going to the trash. Our model is not fixed but changing as we try to serve the needs of the community as well as reduce out ecological impact on the environment.
