Environmental management and recycling of organic materials
To use our land responsibly, we regularly rotate various crops in our fields to improve the health and quality of our soils, and enhance soil biodiversity. We also use green fertilizers for our crops, and have various flower strips throughout the farm to maintain a habitat favourable to the development and maintenance of insects and animals that promote healthy agriculture.
We also have several beehives on the farm to ensure the pollination of our flowering fruits and vegetables, such as squash, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry.
We have to prune certain parts to prepare our asparagus and leeks for retail sale. To minimize our ecological footprint, we retrieve all the trimmings and plant residues from our crops and make our compost directly on the farm. We then use this compost to fertilize our fields naturally while enhancing the richness of the organic matter.
