Though we’ve always grown using organic practices, in October of 2018, our devotion to organic agriculture became official and we received our Organic Certification from the USDA. According to the USDA Organic Integrity Database, we are one of two Certified Organic growers in Martin County (Organic Cane Company, sugar cane grower is the other) and the only Certified Organic grower that sells organic produce to the public in Martin County.

In addition to our USDA certification, we are also certified by the Real Organic Project. The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement created to distinguish soil-grown and pasture-raised products under USDA organic. In response to the lack of enforcement of some vital USDA Organic standards to protect soil health and animal welfare, organic farmers rallied together to fight to protect the integrity of the organic label.

FALL, WINTER & SPRING: Here in South Florida, most of the annual vegetables that people typically want to eat, grow best from late September through April/early May. We start planting our fall crops in early to mid September and generally will not have vegetables or herbs ready until late October/early November. Not all crops are planted at the same time and not all crops are ready at the same time. Mother Nature ALWAYS dictates!

Each season we grow a wide variety of annual vegetables, herbs and some perennial fruits. We always try to grow heirloom and/or unusual varieties. In August, we are planting seeds like crazy to create baby plants that will placed in our gardens come September. Once we start planting, if time permits, we’ll share what varieties are being planted here and on social media.
