Organic Certified Vegetables

We try to grow all of the common vegetables and many uncommon vegetables. We grow many colors and many varieties. Did you know that a yellow tomato has different nutrients than a red tomato? We grow pretty vegetables and we grow knobby, ugly vegetables. What is important is the flavor and the nutrient value. Every year we try new varieties. We grow A to Z (arugula to zucchini). Gardening is about experimenting, failing, learning, succeeding--again and again. Depending on many variables, we may not get everything going every year and each year some vegetables grow better than others. That is the fun of gardening.

We have a "starter" greenhouse, a "hightunnel" greenhouse, and twelve outdoor gardens (most are 50' x 50'). We have two tractors for the bigger tasks, but generally do most gardening by hand -- it's just better that way.

We use water from Bear Butte Valley Water, Inc. to irrigate the gardens. When we irrigate, we use "drip irrigation" tubing and heavy mulch to more efficiently manage application location and evaporation.

We adhere to all applicable USDA Organic standards and also strive to follow all applicable FSMA standards (although we are technically exempt).
