Sustainable Practices
We utilize sustainable integrated pest management (IPM) practices appropriate for the local ecosystem, using computer models from leading universities including Cornell, Purdue, Michigan State, Penn State, and U of I.
- Native pollinator habitats & butterfly garden
- Eight hives of honeybees at the orchard
- Drip irrigation system around most trees
- Cover crops of turf and clover for the bees
- Mulch for weed control and water retention
- Pheromone traps for insect monitoring & mating disruption
Carbon Footprint
Our local orchard sequesters CO2 equivalent to the environmental benefit of 35 homes equipped with solar power — all while eliminating the long-distance transportation costs of produce from the Pacific Northwest.
