Wild Keep

My growing infrastructure includes using soil blocking (and other creative methods! Follow my Instagram for more details) to start most of my plants instead of plastic trays. 

I also use wool and a variety of plants and leaves as mulch instead of plastic. Wool helps retain moisture while also contributing nutrition to the plants.

Cover cropping is also a key element in my regenerative farming plan as well as producing compost from the animals on the farm.

I use natural methods of pest and disease control. I do not use any herbicides or pesticides.

I buy my seeds, tubers, etc. from companies and/or organizations who have signed the Safe Seed Pledge and do not knowingly sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. I have a variety of open-pollinated and/or heirloom seeds and plants. I also seed save and breed my own varieties when possible.

It’s important to me to support local businesses, so when I began this journey, I knew I wanted to focus on a business that would allow me to interact with my local market. There’s nothing like a vase of fresh flowers that have been harvested only hours before on a nearby farm. That’s why all my flowers are locally grown!
