No-Till, No-Spray Farming

What does “no-till” farming mean? It means we focus on our soil health to boost our vegetable growth. Tillage of soils has increased carbon dioxide emissions in our atmosphere. When farmers till soil, it breaks the layer of organic matter and exposes it to air. It also interrupts the pathways that worms, water and organic matter make to increase the permeability of the soil, thus making it more compact. The more compact and tilled the soil is, the more fertilizers and synthetic chemicals need to be used to keep the soil “sweet”.

Hampton Hills Farm uses compost made here. With weeds, leaves, chicken manure and woodchips, we know what’s in our mix and it’s black gold. With the addition of cardboard, this entire mixture helps to feed and loosen the soil, keeping the carbon and nutrients right where they need to be. It helps grow bigger, better and more flavorful produce for you and your family. You can absolutely taste the difference.

If you see it at the Mount Holly Farmers Market or D6 Provisions, it was harvested just that morning.
