About us : Starting with just a small family garden 12
years ago, Cory enjoyed gardening so much he began selling his vegetables
door to door to his chimney sweeping customers. With the opening
of the Prescott Farmers Market, there was finally a great outlet
to sell and the farm doubled in size every year. Now with
4 acres in production and two large greenhouses in the works, Cory
and Shanti and daughter Gibson raise a wide variety of crops and
animals.
Farming Practices
and Philosophy: Our farm is "certified naturally grown"
an alternative to organic. We do not use any synthetic pesticides
or fertilizers. We strive to use the best practices for human
and environmental health including cover cropping, crop rotation,
beneficial insects, animal pasturing, and water conserving irrigation.
Community is what we strive for most; our customers, employees and
fellow farmers are our friends and it gives us joy to put our products
out into the community.
