Farm Products
Central to our mission is managing our production fields and orchards not only for food production but also for native wildlife and beneficial services that come from a healthy ecosystem. We strive for conservation practices that benefit agriculture and vice versa. We try to grow with the land rather than just on the land; duplicating nature’s built-in systems as much as possible and minimizing or eliminating entirely the spraying of pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers. Sunnyside blends sustainable agriculture with environmental protection. Our commitment to organic production means that our food as well as our soil and water are free of toxic chemical residues. We take additional actions to restore habitat for native wildlife, including the pollinators that help make it possible to grow a wide diversity of produce. Our land is protected by a conservation easement ensuring that it will never be developed, and we are continuing to search for ways to reduce energy consumption and diminish our carbon footprint, such as installing solar panels at our farm center.
