At Songwood, we're focused on regenerating our soil and cultivating a thriving ecosystem for native wildlife and pollinators. Because of that, we only operate seasonally using a few key ingredients: Sunshine + Rainwater + Healthy Soil
That's it. Only the good stuff.
We never grow using synthetic or chemical anything. In fact, we don't utilize pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides (or any other -icide) on our land at any time.
We promote health by using natural methods like companion planting, crop rotation, and employing beneficial bugs to create a balanced ecosystem (we love ladybugs around here).
We are strictly no-till, which means we disturb our soil as little as possible (just getting out a shovel is a big deal around here).
Building soil rather than disturbing it allows us to sequester carbon from the atmosphere and store it under our feet, making it available to Songwood's biology as well as keeping it out of the air.
Our land management does not include the use of any heavy gas-guzzling equipment. By working the land with mainly the use of our two sets of hands and feet, we prevent soil compaction (and get our steps in every day).
If for any reason what we grow doesn’t meet our very high quality standards then we compost and use the opportunity to take a step back, listen to what nature is telling us, learn, and improve for next time.
At Songwood we're always working with nature, and never against it. You can rest assured that what we grow here is done with the utmost respect for nature and with the health of the earth, and all of us, in mind at all times.
