Seasons Eatings Farm's
Gardens
 We practice sustainable farming methods. Most of the inputs we use are produced here on the farm. We compost old hay, livestock bedding and manure, and plants from the garden. Compost, seaweed and comfrey are used in teas. When
insect pests
get out of
hand we turn to natural methods of
control. We can turn the ducks loose into the mature garden
to
eat slugs after a rain. The chickens will chase down
grasshoppers, scratch up grubs and disturb weeds from dawn til dusk if
we leave them out. When we need pesticides we use natural
products.
We
believe
healthy soil grows healthy
vegetables. A
healthy
plant can tolerate being nibbled on by a pest. When something
morethan the birds are necessary we turn to organic treatments.
