Sweet Autumn Farm

Sweet Autumn Farm’s goal is to produce highly-nutritious food by preserving and nurturing the many forms of life within and above the soil. The specific planting and harvesting practices mimic the layers of the forest floor and include permanent, raised beds. Soil tests are done yearly to work toward a balance of the macro, micro and trace minerals that the crops need to thrive. Just like in our own bodies, this balance helps to create plants which are vibrant and healthy. Twelve out of fourteen acres are left wild to provide food and shelter for insect and bird life. In addition, hedgerows and beetle banks are incorporated into the cultivated areas to attract and support beneficial pollinators and predators. Sweet Autumn recognizes all life as an important part of a balanced system. The goal of these practices is to help the land endure and thrive for many generations to come.
