Q: Can we use pesticides or herbicides?
A: Because the vegetables are being grown for local consumption, any products you use on your plants must be organic. If you find yourself struggling with insects, disease, or an abundance of weeds, we ask that you find an organic way to treat the problem or consult us, as we have many resources who can offer help.
