Our Growing Practices

We are currently in the USDA's 3 year wait period to gain official organic certification. Our fruit is grown with zero synthetic inputs — no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides. Instead, we focus on building healthy soil biology and resilient plants through natural, biologically based practices.

To nourish and protect our orchard, we spray carefully selected combinations of pure neem oil, liquid fish, seaweed extract, activated microbial cultures, and kaolin clay. Neem oil and kaolin clay help naturally deter insect pressure, while liquid fish and seaweed extracts provide essential nutrients that support vigorous growth and fruit quality.

At the center of our approach is biology. Our activated microbial cultures introduce beneficial microorganisms that help strengthen plant health, improve nutrient cycling, and support the tree’s natural defenses — creating a healthier orchard ecosystem from the soil up.
