Springs
Farm is owned and operated by Ron Juftes and Polly Hieser |
| Seven Springs Farm is a 125 acre organic farm. Use
this map to find our location in Floyd County, Virginia, USA. Our
philosophy
is to be stewards of the land in the most ecological way possible. We
use
farming methods that build the fertility of the soil, such as organic
fertilizers
and biodynamically made compost. Pest management is achieved through
cultural
practices and biological and botanically-based materials.
Organic Farming &
Gardening
Supply Catalog The farm is also home to a Community Supported Agriculture Garden. Polly has about 5 acres in vegetables. She uses eco-ganic and biodynamic practices and she is committed to providing high quality food and preserving the rural economy. The CSA concept is based on the assumption that farmers around the world have a right to a decent living. Consumers have a right to know how their food is produced and information about the farmer and about the farm where it is grown. When you buy a share in this CSA, you are voting with your dollars for the restoration of our region's farmland and rural economy, and for protection of farmlands and farm workers worldwide. As sustainable farming connects us with the Earth, community support connects us to each other. Come join us to create and secure your own food supply. We host a Work
Apprentice Program
designed to teach an individual a realistic view of what is involved in
running an organic farm. The apprentice will learn many aspects of
organic
farming, including vegetable production, organizational management of
the
CSA and a variety of homesteading skills. Click on Apprenticeship
Program

To start with, organic food tastes better! Not using toxic pesticides in the production of food is a much healthier choice for people and the environment. Organic production helps build healthy soil, preserves diversity in our environment and provides us with the best quality food. By growing organically we are changing the world in a positive way. Please join in and learn the principles and methods of organic gardening. |
