At Vegetable Land, we use no herbicides or pesticides, organic or otherwise. We use complex organic fertilizers low in immediately available nitrogen that contain dozens of micronutrients. We plant large swaths of insect habitat within our raised bed gardens and let flower and seed whatever will. We plant cover crops and living mulches, water scarcely, and disturb as little as possible. 
       We began our food venture in two thousand seven at Red Lee's old gambling cabin on springfield road, encouraged by a locally focused restaurant and the upswing of interest in actual food in the area. Over the next few years we expanded our gardens, learned how best to grow our tried and true crops, and established contacts through farmer's markets, restaurants, and local grocers. We took over our new seven acre place in the autumn of eleven, having outgrown our half acre at the cabin. 
       Two thousand twelve was our first year offering shares of our produce in a classic csa format. Through challenging conditions, we had a great time delivering shares and growing for our csa members. We continue to expand our operations, growing acres of alliums and soybeans this year and more csa shares.
