How We Grow - Texas Farms Vermont

Our mission is to grow nutrient-rich and incredibly delicious produce while working with nature and being good stewards of the land. Though we are not currently certified organic, we aim to meet and exceed USDA standards.

No-Till Farming

We practice no-till farming, meaning the soil is disturbed as little as possible. This allows us to:

Limit soil erosion
Capture carbon in the soil
Use less amendments and fertilizers
Limit the use of large farming equipment
Foster the health of the microbiome in the soil

Seed Saving

Because we specialize in open-pollinated and heirloom varieties, we are able to practice seed saving. This process involves:

Growing extra produce for seed harvesting
Creating genetically diverse crops
Adapting plants to local conditions
Reducing reliance on big seed companies
Developing unique strains for our farm
