Sleepy Hollow Creek Aronia Berries orchard was started four years ago in a triangle of land south of the creek on Flying V Farms, LLC. The last four years have been dedicated to transitioning the 200 acres to organic farming practices. Investments have been made both monetarily and lots of labor. I am a passionate environmentalist and conservationist. I believe that genetic engineering and excessi
ve use of toxic chemicals are destroying the soil, water, air, food products and the health of everyone exposed to the toxins. My commitment to organic practices reflects my belief in four values: Conservation practices that will put life and health back into the soil and provide a better environment for wildlife, pollinators, and beneficial insects and also responsible use of water resources; Climate Change needs to be reversed and organic farming is much friendlier to the environment: Carcinogens are not a by-product; and changes in conventional practices will protect the earth and the food supply for our children's children.
