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.

Angela’s Squash Recipe

Just had this for breakfast — awesome!

-1 large sweet onion 4

-yellow squash

-4-6 strips of bacon

-Salt and black pepper to taste

Render the bacon slowly in a skillet on low heat. While the bacon renders, dice the onion and slice the squash thinly. Remove the now dark and crispy bacon from the skillet, turn the heat to medium, and add the onions to the skillet. While the onions start to cook, chop the bacon slices.

Once the onions are translucent and starting to brown, add the squash and chopped bacon back to the skillet. Add a pinch or two of salt and several grinds of black pepper and stir everything together well. Put a lid on the skillet and let it cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir well and return lid for another 3-5 minutes, depending on how well-cooked you like your squash. Serve hot. Leftovers make an excellent frittata filling.
