Soil Born Farm: Organically Grown

Soil Born Farm: Organically Grown by Annie&John.
Sign reads:

"Organically cared for soil is rich and teeming with microscopic life which benefit plants. Artificial fertilizers, weedkillers and pesticides disrupt this balance and natural cycles. They eventually make life harder for the plant and for the farmer, and quite incidentally they make farming very costly compared to organic.

Farmers have not always used those products. Mankind has been carrying out cultivation and cropping for over six thousand years. It is only in the last half century or so that non-biological methods have become par for the course. Now organic farming is showing the way forward to a better relationship with flora, fauna and natural elements; it is enabling us to work with the planet on which and from which we live; by those methods we can raise healthy plants and maintain healthy soil in a sustainable system of agriculture. We can be at one with the planet which is our source of being and with all the species of life who share it with us."

~Alan & Joan Gould, lifetime organic gardeners
