Certified Naturally Grown
Perryhill Produce is Certified Naturally Grown. You can learn more about CNG in this blog post and at naturallygrown.org.
Soil Management
Our methods focus on building excellent soil. Since 2012, we’ve followed a field improvement program designed by soil expert Mark Schonbeck. His recommendations have resulted in remarkable improvement to the quality of our produce and the state of our fields.
Weed and Pest Control
Instead of chemicals to control weeds, we plant tight rows and use timely weeding methods. Instead of using pesticides, we focus on pest prevention with healthy soil, crop rotation, row cover and parasitic nematodes when necessary.
Environmental Responsibility
We are continually learning and refining our methods. Our goal is to improve the land we use each season to sustain a healthy balance of nutrients and microorganisms that will grow delicious and nutritious plants.
