Sustainable Agriculture Farming Practices
Honor
"Does it honor the creation?"
Economics
"Is it economically feasible?"
Efficiency
"Is it efficient?"
Our specially designed aeroponics preserve land, save water and eliminate agricultural runoff. Our decision to build greenhouses allows us to offer efficient, locally grown, sustainable year-round food production.
Hydroponics
Our hydroponic systems recirculate water, dramatically reducing waste compared to traditional farming methods. By growing in soilless media, we eliminate soil-borne diseases and pests while maintaining precise control over plant nutrition.
We apply organic carbon and beneficial microbial applications to ensure our plants receive the nutrients they need naturally, without synthetic fertilizers.
Practical Approaches
We believe in practical solutions rather than going to unusual lengths to meet absurd requirements. Our philosophy is rooted in real-world sustainability—methods that work for farmers, for the land, and for the community.
As part of the Southland Organics family, we share a commitment to helping farmers and gardeners find effective natural solutions for natural problems.
Food Miles
We focus on local production to reduce the environmental impact of transportation. By growing food close to where it's consumed, we minimize "food miles"—the distance food travels from farm to table. Local production means fresher food, lower carbon emissions, and stronger community connections.
Water Conservation
Our location is blessed with three ponds, stream access, and two wells with over 100 GPM capacity. But we don't take water for granted.
Our greenhouse system utilizes 10x less water than conventional agricultural practices.
In our field operations, we use drip irrigation, wobble stakes, and precision spray application from SpraySquad.com to ensure every drop counts.
Land Management
Our nearly 2-acre food plot operates without any synthetic materials. We follow NOP-approved practices that work with nature, not against it.
- Broadforks for soil aeration without disruption
- Composting to build soil health naturally
- Vermiculture for nutrient-rich castings
- Bed solarization for natural pest control
