Velma's Farm Stand

Filigreen Farm holds both Demeter-certified Biodynamic and CCOF-certified organic status. Its soil health program centers on on-site nutrient production: cover crops are sown in orchard rows each winter and turned under in spring to build fertility; azolla, a nitrogen-rich aquatic fern, is cultivated in two dedicated ponds and has replaced the need for imported manure in compost production; and finished compost is inoculated with Biodynamic preparations and brewed into compost teas in underground amphorae. The farm also works with water revitalization techniques, including handmade concrete flowforms and vortex spinners, as part of its Biodynamic practice. Most inputs are sourced on-site, with the stated goal of farming the land as a self-sustaining organism.
