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.

Committed to a Healthier Future

We take pride in being a chemical-free, sustainability-focused farm. Our commitment protects the environment, supports local ecosystems, and ensures healthy food for our community.
