This is their philosophy:
"At Spring Lake Gardens we do not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We adhere to the standards set forth in The Farmer's Pledge. Our methods are designed to build the sustainability of our farm, meaning that we are working to create a farm that not only produces delicious food, but also produces the fertility to grow it!"
"We are committed to using our time to grow outstanding produce, and to do so using techniques which are balanced, produce food with high nutrient density, and which develop the sustainability of our farm. By sustainability we mean the ability of the farm to supply it's own nutrients via the practicing of well designed husbandry. We believe strongly that beautiful, healthy and delicious foods are the byproduct of a healthy agricultural system, and cannot be duplicated with artificial nutrients or in unbalanced ecosystems."
They have a little pond on the property which is so cute and refreshing. My baby Connor loved putting his hands in the stream.
My other two boys loved walking the board bridge across the stream. They thought it was so cool. They also have a couple of pets. Amico is the dog, along with Jenga, Attilla, and Gilligan who are the cats. Amico and the cats are solely responsible for keeping the farm charming, affectionate, and unpredictable. Amico loved my boys and my boys loved him. He played fetch with them for hours. It was a total blast!
