We are farming about an acre of row crops at Flatbed Farm. Although we are not currently certified organic, we use all organic compost and soil amendments, and we never use any kind of sprays or pesticides. We are working hard in the field to maximize production of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, to keep our farm stand stocked and our restaurant customers supplied. We are growing lots of diversity in a small space, and are always learning and experimenting to grow more abundance in a small space.
