Organic & Sustainable Farming Benefits
The image of a traditional rural lifestyle, with cows grazing out at pasture, chickens pecking in the barnyard, and a lush mix of produce thriving in the fields, finds its fulfillment in the organic farm. Livestock are raised in healthy, airy conditions, free of antibiotics and growth hormones.
Organic farmers focus on feeding the soil, not the plants. Healthy soil rich in organic matter and microorganisms makes for vigorous plants that resist pests and disease. Healthy, living soil is vital to organic farming. The natural end result of this is that farmers strive to maintain ecological balance through their farming practices. Continual addition of compost, tilled-under cover crops, animal manures, and other naturally sourced nutrients enrich the soil in much the same way as happens in nature. This rich soil, in turn, yields flavorful produce higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than many conventional crops.
Organically-grown fields are also better equipped than conventional ones to fight off pests and disease. With efficient, intelligent management, organic farming offers similar yields to conventional. While conventional farms may have higher yields in optimum growing conditions, vigorous organic crops can even outyield conventional ones in a difficult growing year. Organic production does have higher labor costs, but this is generally offset with higher prices at the grocery store.
Organic farmers bring their considerable creativity to bear in selling their crops, as well. Many small farms operate roadside produce stands; others use community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs to sell their products. The CSA model, where consumers subscribe to a weekly, biweekly, or monthly "share" of whatever a farm is producing, is becoming increasingly popular. Harvest festivals and pick-your-own crops are also customer favorites.

Blue Sky Organic Farms is a family farm located in Litchfield, AZ. We have been farming in sunny Arizona since 1995. We grow 100% of the produce we offer and are extremely proud to be certified organic. You can find a small selection of our produce at Whole Foods Grocery Stores across the Valley and a full selection at the Scottsdale Farmers Market on Saturdays. We are very excited to have begun our new CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program this season in which our neighbors can support our farm in exchange for a weekly share of our harvest. There is no better way to be certain of where your food comes from and to support your local economy than by participating in your neighborhood farm’s CSA program. This food is grown fresh in your area; what a great way to do your part! And there is no greater satisfaction for this organic farmer than to know he is providing clean, healthy food to the members of this community.
