Providing The Best Organic and Sustainable Produce

We operate from the understanding that the health of ourselves, our communities, and our planet is interconnected. That is why we are committed to ecologically responsible farming practices and local markets for fresh food. For us that means no synthetic chemicals are used in our gardens and the food we source from other organic farms is as close as possible to our market to conserve energy.

Our gardening strategy begins with building a healthy soil ecosystem. Plants thrive in a biodiverse environment, where the soil is full of microbial life and an abundance of insects. A balanced soil ecosystem can also mitigate the damage caused by garden pests in many cases. So to create that kind of environment, we start by adding lots of organic matter to the soil. We use animal manures and green manures to keep the soil well fed and we make use of the age-old practice of crop rotation to reduce disease and pest pressures in the garden. We conserve water by using drip irrigation and lots of mulch whenever possible.

We use many methods that were honed by our forefathers which sustained healthy life on this planet for many centuries. Returning to the basics of crop rotation and applying animal manure allows us to provide vibrant, nourishing food to our community while preserving the health of our ecosystem simultaneously.

We are passionate about ensuring our customers receive the freshest local organic produce available at the most affordable prices possible. Some of our produce is grown on our urban farm in a residential neighborhood in Denton, demonstrating the potential of vacant land in the city for growing food. All of our produce is either grown organically in Denton or harvested from organic farms within a 100 mile radius of Denton, Texas.

Check out the Denton Community Market, hosted every Saturday morning May thru October from 9 am to 1 pm. The Denton Community Market provides music, local food, handmade arts & crafts and more to town residents and visitors. We look forward to meeting you there!

Artizone on D the Broadcast!

We are very excited to offer our CSA to more people through our new partnership with Artizone.com!  Our weekly produce share is now available for home delivery throughout Dallas and many suburbs of Dallas every Friday. 

Each Wednesday, we round up the very best local, organic produce available for our CSA share.  We start by harvesting from our gardens in Denton, and then we make the rounds to local farms to pick up the best selection of organic produce we can find.  We send out our newsletter with recipe ideas using the seasonal ingredients of each week’s share, and the shares are packed on Thursday evening for delivery throughout Dallas on Friday! 

How’s that for a supply chain!  One unbroken link, directly from local farms to your doorstep — no distribution centers, no long-haul trucking, just farm-direct, fresh produce with no synthetic chemicals.  

Amber Dietrich was on D the Broadcast yesterday to show some of the products available for home delivery through Artizone.com.  Check it out!

Bok Choy and Cashews Recipe

Earthwise Bok Choy

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 cup chopped green onions, including green ends

3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 pound bok choy, rinsed, larger leaves separated from base, base trimmed but still present, holding the smaller leaves together

1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

Salt to taste

1/2 cup chopped, roasted, salted cashews 

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Add onions, then garlic, then bok choy. Sprinkle with sesame oil and salt. Cover, and let the baby bok choy cook down for approximately 3 minutes. (Like spinach, when cooked, the bok choy will wilt a bit.)  Remove cover. Lower heat to low. Stir and let cook for a minute or two longer, until the bok choy is just cooked.  Gently mix in cashews.
