Coulter's Good Earth Farm

Coulter's Good Earth Farm uses organic growing techniques with minimal chemical pesticides and fertilizers, relying on crop rotations, green manures, compost, vermicompost, and mulches for soil fertility. Drip irrigation and rain catchment maximize water efficiency. When insect control is necessary, the farm prefers organic methods, and most crops are described as completely pesticide free. The 30 acres include orchards, vegetable beds, perennials, pastures, and natural areas designed to support beneficial insects, plus beehives and dedicated habitat for native pollinators. Animals are integrated into the farm system to add fertility. The farm grows many heirloom vegetable and fruit varieties selected for taste and climate, saves many of its own seeds, and raises most transplants on-site. It also produces heirloom seeds for commercial companies. Permaculture principles guide ongoing development, and waste wood grows mushrooms as part of a broader recycling approach.
