Irrigation
Irrigation water is supplied from a naturally occurring artesian flowage over five hundred feet below the farm's surface.
Weed Control
Organic weed control standards are strictly adhered to at the Standard Process Farm. The main methods of weed management include: cultivating, mowing, hand weeding, and cover crops - used for weed prevention and as a source of nitrogen and organic matter.
In addition, we utilize a crop flamer, a tool employed by the organic community to control weeds that come up between the crop rows before vegetables have a chance to canopy. New technology will allow us to continually improve our efforts of weed management.
