Middle Way Farm

Middle Way Farm holds Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) certification, which it earned in 2022 after years of operating chemical-free under organic standards. CNG follows the vast majority of certified organic standards and involves annual inspections through a participatory, peer certification process. The farm relies on biological processes that are renewable and build soil, and its intentionally small scale allows it to focus on land stewardship and produce quality. Growing methods include companion planting and intercropping with beneficial plants and flowers, native plantings such as shrub hedgerows and prairie, and the use of cover crops and in-field beneficial plantings.
