Comes to us from Sauk Farm (Skagit Valley) via Puget Sound Food Hub. Sauk Farm is certified organic through the WSDA, and is currently transitioning its apples to organic. At our farm we take a proactive approach to insure crop success. A multitude of soil, foliar, and fruit nutritional tests are taken to discover imbalances and adjust them before an issue arrises. We monitor weekly for pests, diseases, and nutritional deficiencies. Besides monitoring for pests, we also monitor beneficial insects to appropriately time practices so as not to harm their population levels. To improve nutrient cycling and promote insect, plant, and soil microfauna diversity we plant a mixture of red clover, white clover, mustard, barley, and ryegrass cover crops between our rows of trees and vines. The flowering of the leguminous cover crops provides ample forage for our Italian honeybees and other native pollinators.
