Perceptions Farmer’s Market produce is not always locally or organically grown. “Local “ produce can still be destroying the planet. One stop shopping is more convenient. Grocery store produce is safer ?

We Belong to the Earth Because sustainable organic farming forces so much hands on work, a close bond with the land is developed. I believe that most organic farmers either develop or previously had a deep abiding love for the Earth. We strive to look out for the well being of the planet. Always remembering that we are borrowing the land from our children not using it as we wish and leaving them the leftovers.
