Company description
We started our farm in 2019 with the goal of producing local, naturally grown vegetables involving members of our family and community. Everything Saint Fiacres sells is produced on the farm. All vegetables and seedlings are grown from seed without the use of synthetic chemicals or pesticides. We don't use a tractor in vegetable production and we don't till the land. Instead we have adopted no-till, sustainable, and efficient methods that include soil tests, OMRI certified soil amendments, flame weeding, stale seed beds, modern tools, organized systems, and good agricultural practices that are always being improved. We aim to be transparent and have now chosen to join the Certified Naturally Grown Program.
