Why Organic?

Black River Organic Farm is certified as an organic grower under the USDA. This means that we use specific growing methods and materials that minimize impacts to the environment and maximize our stewardship of the land and water.

We use only approved organic fertilizers and organic pesticides. We build our soil with natural compost and we never treat our seeds, plants, or harvested produce with any synthetic herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides.

We farm because we love the natural world. We see it as our job to take care of the world in ways that will ensure a sustainable future.
