No, we are not certified organic. However, we do our best to follow organic practices. We do not use pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or inorganic fertilizers. We are a 100% chemical-free farm. At some point in the future, we may seek organic certification. We invite everyone to see our farm practices. It’s important to understand that any certification program is only as good as the word of the farmer.
