Earthen Harvest Organics

Part of being a farmer, especially an organic farmer, is being a steward of the land.  Farming is not just about the produce- it is also about the soil, pollination, wildlife, all that is within the environment. The aspects that envelope a farm can determine its overall success. 

BEEKEEPING

Bees are often taken for granted when it comes to agriculture. With our first hive we hope to spread the message that bees are a critical part of all agricultural practices. With the decline in native bees populations, domestic bees are key in helping to pollinate our crops.

 * The plants that are listed are generally deer resistant. Many factors can alter the interest a deer may have in a particular plant variety. For instance, if the deer are having a difficult time finding food, they will sometimes eat the buds of an Iris, which appears on this deer resistant list. While this list is a guide, it is not a guarantee that a deer will not nibble or step on a plant.

This is just a partial list that Earthen Harvest provides. If you would like a copy of the complete list, please e-mail us at earthenharvest@gmail.com or visit us at the Red Bank Farmers Market!
