Growing Practices. Aylmer Backyard Farms will use only organic growing practices. The landowners agree that the use of any chemicals or non-organically certified and approved pesticides or herbicides in the plot and on their property that contains the plot is prohibited, and that doing so would compromise its overall organic nature and would be considered a violation of this land use agreement. Most work will be completed with simple (and quiet) hand tools. Aylmer Backyard Farms will communicate with the landowner in the event heavier equipment will be needed.
Growing Practices. Goodness Grows produce is grown without using toxic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified seeds, or ionizing radiation. Practices include, crop rotation, fallowing, composting, drip irrigation, organic biodegradable mulch, reusable weed fabric, high tunnel greenhouse, frost covers, low tunnels, and undisturbed natural pollinator habitat areas. Churutabis Farm eggs are from pasture-raised laying hens receiving Transitional Organic feed, where the farmers pledge to follow Organic Standards but have chosen not to pursue certification or are in a transition period of 3 yrs before they can be legally certified. There is no medicated feed or antibiotics used. The hens are free to eat grass, weeds, insects, and worms. They receive sunshine and protection from the elements and are able to scratch, take dust baths, and roost on poles at night.

Growing Practices a. We believe in providing fresh, seasonal, local veggies from our farm to your home. We believe people should have a relationship with their food, one that gives back to both you and the land. Instead of organic certification, we believe in “face certification: a direct contact between farmer and consumer that creates an environment for trust and faith,” as described by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx. We believe in transparent farming practices and being open and honest about all inputs used on our farm. We do not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, or any genetically modified seed. As a practice, our farm records will be available to all members. We welcome any inquires about this stance.
