Question: Is the Driftless Farm Organic?

Answer:

"Driftless Farm chooses not to certify our produce.  Our reason is that we
are a very small farm that sells directly to our costumers. They hold us
accountable to very high standards of sustainable, chem-free practices.
Certification is expensive, and we probably won't choose that route until
we think our customers demand it.

That said, we use no chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. All
soil amendments we use are certified organic. We choose organic seed when
available.

My training and background is only in sustainable and organic growing. I
have worked on certified organic farms and know many of the practices
involved. We follow them here at Driftless, and often go above and
beyond.

Located in 140 acres of woods, our soils haven't been farmed by any one in
hundreds of years (we've found stone hoes on our land from way long ago!).
They are rich and we work hard to put nutrients back into them each
year through green manures, compost, worm castings, and very little soil
exposure."
