About Crystal Green Farms
Crystal Green Farms currently has approx.200 acres in certified organic production,much of it is rented land.Due to some difficult circumstances,the home farm has only about six acres,including the house and barns left.The home gardens grow a lot of the vegetables. We also grow our own hay for our animals and some wheat and soybeans.
The decision to go from conventional to organic was not difficult to make because we didn't like what was happening to soils. As stewards of the land ,we believe in the organic principle of feeding the soil not the plant - allowing the plants to absorb and select all the nutrients found in the soil, giving them time to develop concentrated flavors.
For us organic farming is not just a job, it’s a way of life.
We find it both challenging and rewarding, and hope that we can make some difference in the local community, one family at a time.
