GROWING PRACTICES

We won't sell it if we wouldn't eat it.

While “organic” or “naturally grown” certification is impractical in interior Alaska, our growing practices are aligned with certified naturally grown standards. We use low-till/no-till practices to build soil health. We avoid synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. We use natural fertilizers and soil amendments like compost, manures, fish hydrolysate, bone meal, alfalfa meal, and green manures. We rely on beneficial plants, cover crops, crop rotation and good soil management for pest control. 

We feed our family from the same garden we sell to you from so you can be confident we're not cutting corners on quality.
