Our Sustainable Practices
At Cobblestone Farms, we are dedicated to growing fresh, nutritious food using sustainable, organic-inspired farming methods. While we are not USDA-certified organic, we implement environmentally friendly practices that protect the land, promote biodiversity, and nurture healthy crops—without relying on synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.​​
​How We Grow Sustainably​
​Soil Health & Crop Diversity
-
We enrich soil through crop rotation, cover crops, and composting.
-
Polyculture and companion planting improve soil health and reduce pests.
-
Instead of synthetic fertilizers, we use organic matter and natural amendments.
​
Natural Pest & Weed Control
-
We use integrated pest management (IPM) to balance beneficial insects and pests.
-
Biopesticides like Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) target harmful pests while protecting pollinators.
-
We release ladybugs, lacewings, and parasitic wasps for natural pest control.
-
No herbicides—we control weeds through mulching and hand weeding.
​
Pollinator & Biodiversity Support
-
Flower strips provide food and habitat for essential pollinators.
-
Our farm supports native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.
​
Water Conservation
-
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to roots, reducing waste.
-
Healthy soil naturally retains moisture, cutting down on water use.
