How We Grow
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Highland Orchards, our farming practices prioritize flavor, nutrition, and healthy soil. We baby our crops and nurture our land to produce high-quality harvests with fabulous flavor. We use crop rotation, minimal tillage, cover cropping, and composting. We add aged manure to the compost and employ beneficial insects and nematodes, fish emulsion and seaweed, as well as plant and mineral based sprays and powders. Every sustainable trick we can find is used to boost plant health and harvest flavor.
We use several mulch options, such as leaves, wood chips, and straw to help suppress weeds and maintain soil health. Taking into account air flow, we carefully plan planting distances and pruning. Plant health is key for quality produce.
Starting our own herbs, vegetables, and flowers for the cutting garden in our greenhouses ensures the highest quality produce. We are committed to avoiding sewage sludge, organophosphates, synthetic chemicals, or GMOs in our farming practices. Everyone deserves to eat great tasting food grown without chemicals!
