Herb
Gully is certified organic by the Organic Crop Improvement Association
(OCIA). The organic methods of raising plants starts with the soil
we use in the greenhouse to the soil management in the fields. These
methods are incorporated into our crop rotation, companion planting,
and composting procedures. In fact the organic certification standards
cover the practices from the planting to seeds through harvest,
cleaning, and packing.
Besides being certified organic we at Herb Gully
believe in being a good steward of the land. This includes the birds,
other wildlife, and the native plants that occupy the same space.
We strive to raise plants and till the soil in harmony with the
environment which Herb Gully is a part.
In this way it is a good environment to
raise our families and work in the fields. Therefore the people
of Herb Gully have always placed a great importance on stewardship.
