We grow our grains using their natural biology. That means that we do not spray them with chemical fertilizers or pesticides or irrigate them. We just plant and let them fend for themselves, like they were meant to do in nature!
Increasing bio-diversity by having many different varieties and rotating crops decreases the ability of bugs or diseases to wipe out our harvest. Minimal tillage helps retain organic matter in the soil and builds up the soil's tore of nutrients and water holding capacity over time.
At the end of the season, we set aside some of the harvested grain to plant next year. Therefore, every season the varieties are getting more adapted to this climate and our farm's soil.
