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.

Rehoboth Homestead
66 Jabez Allen Rd
Peru, NY 12972
(518) 643-7822
info@rhomestead.com
Our farm is a market garden of fresh vegetables and flowers, with chickens, ducks, and pigs. We take the stewardship of the land and animals entrusted to us seriously. We grow following organic production standards. We choose varieties of vegetables for their flavor and nutrient content and our flowers for beauty and vase life rather than for their ability to withstand shipping.
Our free-range eggs have naturally-balanced nutrients, with bright orange yolks and firm whites. No medications, growth stimulants, or hormones are added to their feed. Our pastured broilers, ducks, and geese also roam around and eat insects and plants. The pigs get to root around, eat greenery, wallow in a mud bath.
The base of our farm is our CSA membership program for vegetables, eggs, chicken, duck, and pork, in any combination. Our members get first choice. Since our members get to choose their veggies, we don't know exactly what they will choose so we grow extra that are for sale to the public.
