We are certified for our ecologic growing practices with Red Tomato, a food distribution nonprofit rooted in the principles of fair trade, sustainability, and equity. One of their central tenants is to elevate the way in which we think about sustainable food growing practices, thus embracing a whole systems approach that works for the benefit of all parts and people in the food system.
