About Us
Big Creek Farms is a small scale vegetable, herb, and flower farm on the banks of the Chocolay River that began in 2024.
Practices
We use regenerative practices that prioritize a robust soil biology with a focus on sustainable, ecological methods that are harmonious with nature. Compost, wood chip mulch, cover cropping, crop rotation, interplanting are all part of our repertoire. With a focus on soil biology and fertility, the goal is to produce plants with higher natural resistance to disease and pests. We also employ the use of row covers to protect from insect damage. Due to being a new & small farm, the fees and costs associated with official certification are prohibitive to us at this time. However, we do not use any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and we use organic and non-GMO seeds.
