“Our mission is clear: to produce healthy food for families today while improving and protecting the land for future generations.”
Soil is a humble thing.
Hidden beneath a canopy of green plants, it is easy to forget that it is much more than sand, silt, and clay. It is home to all kinds of soil biology that create a unique and thriving ecosystem designed by the Creator to be the foundation of life itself.
For too long, agriculture has tried to control nature with tillage, single-species crops, and commercial fertilizer and pesticides. This has inevitably destroyed the fragile ecosystem in our soils, but that’s not the end of the story!
At Giffin Farms, we are working with nature to improve our soil, our environment, and our community. Our work is purposeful and our mission is clear: to produce healthy food for families today while improving and protecting the land for future generations.
