What is sustainable agriculture?
"Sustainable agriculture is environmentally sound. It conserves and enriches the soil, protects the quality of the water, and encourages a diversity of plant and animal species. Sustainable agriculture is not a prescribed set of farming practices but only those practices that are right for a given farm or region or crop. Sustainable agriculture maintains agricultural productivity and economic viability. Sustainable agriculture practices may include reducing or eliminating the use of agricultural chemicals. Low-input agriculture, organic farming, biodynamic farming, regenerative agriculture, and permaculture are examples of farming systems that fall within the scope of sustainable agriculture."
Looking for a great but easy gift for your animal friends at the Farm? How about Gift Certificates?

Gift certificates from BEDFORD FIELDS, FOOD FOR PETS, EASTERN PROPANE and PSNH will make a big difference for the Farm.
