Amy’s Garden is a USDA Inspected Certified Organic farm; on our farm we never use herbicides, harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. As organic farmers, we understand that the key to healthy crops is a vibrant, nurtured soil. We strive to stimulate and build soil life by utilizing compost, organic mulches and crop rotation, which help keep the land healthy and productive for future generations.
We also plant cover crops which naturally fix nitrogen, add organic matter to the soil and provide habitat areas for beneficial insects and wildlife while preventing erosion. Permanent plantings of flowering plants provide a vital source of food and nectar to insects and wildlife that make the farm their home and several areas of native milkweed have been planted just for our monarch butterfly friends who migrate through each season. This unique set of strategies allows the farm to integrate farm production with longer-term environmental goals, guided by the principles of organic regenerative agriculture. |
