Cold Springs Organics

Cold Springs Organics holds organic certification through CSI (Certification Services International) under the Canadian Organic Standards (COR). The farm grows using organic seeds, organic amendments, and organic methods, rotating crops to maintain soil fertility without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. It applies permaculture principles including companion planting, large flowering hedgerows for pollinators, and swales to capture rainfall and improve soil infiltration. Regenerative agriculture methods such as low-till practices and cover crops protect the soil surface, reduce erosion, and support carbon capture. The farm conducts annual soil testing to optimize soil quality. It also maintains habitat for four threatened bird species, including eastern bluebirds, eastern meadowlarks, bobolinks, and barn swallows, by preserving native biodiversity across its land.
