Farming in Ontario
We believe that a lot of food labelling can be misleading. We also believe in more than one method of farming. We let you decide what farming method works best for you and your practices.
Integrated Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management is a holistic method of pest control that creates a controlled ecosystem that favours crops and deters pests. IPM manages the entire plant ecosystem by benefiting the soil, water, pollinators, beneficial insects, the farm workers, and of course the crops! IPM's goal is to reduce the reliance on pesticides and reintegrate holistic practices back into farming.
Organic
Contrary to popular belief, being organic is not just about pesticides. Organic farming was originally defined as a biodiverse, self-sustaining system that served the local community.
In a nutshell, the term "organic" really stands for a holistic system of farming. That's why, while some of our produce isn't Certified Organic, we know that all of our farms strive to embrace these principles.
Biodynamic
Often considered the highest standard of sustainable farming, the biodynamic approach is all about land stewardship. Everything you use to grow a product must be from your land. No outside sources and a lot of manure. A LOT, of manure.
