We pledge to follow sustainable agriculture and farming techniques to provide the freshest and cleanest food we can.  Rarely, do we use treatments to keep our crops from infestations, but if we do, we use only approved products so that we maintain our certification.

Because of our unwillingness to use any pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, we occasionally end up with an occasional worm.   Just remember that this worm represents symbiotic relationship in nature within a clean environment.   If, however, the worms are too great, we end up turning under our crops and replanting later.

A little history….

George Hall has been farming organically since 1967, and he comes from a long line of farmers. 

When the chemical companies came on the scene to make crop protection easier and more sure, George’s father took to chemical usage.  At that time, the risks were unknown.  Eventually, many members of George’s family ended up with some form of cancer.

George believes that the cancer that afflicted much of his family, including himself, could be prevented and ameliorated by growing produce organically instead of using synthetic chemicals that kill plants, insects, animals and are now impacting things like butterfly migration, for example.  He realized that these chemicals are not only on the produce but in it.  The chemicals are made to last, cling to the plants and endure the elements, so he figures, they probably hang around for a long while in the soil.  If these chemicals were harmful to the plants, animals and insects that ate them, then what could they do to people?  That is when George Hall made his own commitment to keeping his farming practices sustainable, and to this end, he traveled around the Northeast to learn about organic farming techniques and implemented them in 1967.  Today, Daren Hall, his nephew, works with George to continue organic farming practices and certification.

Together, they are dedicated to organic farming and use minerals, crop rotation, and hoeing as the main forms of crop protection.  George and Daren really want everyone to reap the benefits of organic produce.  It’s good for your body, the Earth and the future.
