About the farm
Harvest Valley Farms believes in growing the highest quality product using the least amount of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers necessary. These applications are greatly reduced by the long-term process of building the soil structure.
Art, Larry, and David have found that building the soil structure by the use of green manure, organic material amendments, wet lime, crop rotation, heavy mulching, and less tillage, can reduce pesticide and fertilizer use by about 60 percent. In addition to proper soil maintenance, HVF believes that overall diversity and local sales are extremely important in order to sustain a good community economy.
