Our Practices

We pride ourselves on sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. With a commitment to providing you with the highest quality fruit, we follow a set of principles that prioritize the health of the environment, our workers, and our customers.

Organic Certification

Our farm is certified organic by CCOF. We do not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our farming practices. Instead, we rely on natural methods to manage pests and diseases while promoting the overall health of our fruit trees.

Peak Flavor Harvesting

We pride ourselves on picking our organic stone fruits at their peak ripeness. By carefully assessing each fruit for color, texture, fragrance, and taste, we ensure that you receive fruits bursting with flavor and maximum nutritional value. From juicy peaches to succulent plums, every fruit from our farm is harvested at the perfect moment for your ultimate satisfaction.

Nurturing Lasting Connections

Our customers are at the heart of our organic stone fruit farm. We actively engage with you, welcoming your questions and fostering a strong bond between our farm and those who enjoy our fruits. With your support, we sustain our commitment to organic farming, delivering the finest stone fruits you love. Join us in cultivating a relationship built on trust and shared values.

Soil Health

We believe that healthy soil is the foundation for producing nutritious and flavorful stone fruits. We implement techniques like cover cropping, crop rotation, and composting to enrich the soil with organic matter and improve its fertility. By nurturing the soil ecosystem, we ensure that our trees receive the necessary nutrients and minerals to thrive naturally.

Water Conservation

Water is a precious resource, and we are committed to its responsible use. Through careful irrigation management, we optimize water efficiency by utilizing drip irrigation systems, mulching, and monitoring soil moisture levels. Our goal is to minimize water waste and promote the sustainable use of this vital resource.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We prioritize a holistic approach to pest management through IPM. This means we employ a combination of techniques such as beneficial insect release, trap crops, and mechanical methods to control pests effectively. By promoting a natural balance within the orchard, we minimize the use of chemical interventions and allow beneficial organisms to thrive.

Ethical Treatment of Workers

We value the well-being of our workers and treat them with respect. We provide fair wages and safe working conditions. By fostering a positive work environment, we ensure that our team is motivated and committed to delivering the highest quality fruits.

Biodiversity & Habitat Preservation

Our farm is a diverse haven for plants and animals. We maintain habitats for beneficial insects, birds, owls, and wildlife. By preserving biodiversity, we enhance natural pollination and reduce reliance on synthetic interventions. Owl boxes, bee hives, and a thriving eucalyptus grove that is home to red-tailed hawks all contribute to this harmonious ecosystem.

Sustainable Energy & Electric Tractors

We're dedicated to reducing our environmental impact through sustainable energy innovation. Harnessing solar energy powers a significant portion of our operations, reducing reliance on traditional electricity sources. Additionally, Nick has developed and built an electric tractor to minimize carbon emissions.

At our organic stone fruit farm, we strive to produce delicious and nutritious fruits while nurturing the environment. By choosing our produce, you support sustainable agriculture and contribute to the well-being of the planet and our community. Join us in savoring the taste of nature's bounty, grown with care and commitment.
