What Is Green String Farming?
Our land is our greatest asset, so we do everything we can to protect it and nurture it. Green String farming is the synergistic relationship between our needs as humans and the needs of the land. The concept of balance is key. In addition to taking fruit
and natural resources from the land, we give them back to the land, creating a self-nourishing system.
How Do You Grow Green String?
We use natural resources including:
• organic cover crops consisting of:
- grains such as barley and oats
- nitrogen fixing plants like bell-beans to soften the soil bed
• compost teas, brewed specifically to provide diverse leaf structure and limit insect problems, comprising:
- molasses
- fish emulsion
- rock dust
- microbes
- other nutrients
• crushed volcanic rock and oyster shell to provide mineral nutrition
• sheep grazing to remove most weeds in the fields
• natural mined sulfur to control mildew
