The Backyard Farmer
Food doesn’t get more local than this
The farm-to-table movement sweeping the country proves the saying, “What’s old is new again.” It gets back to the healthy basics our grandparents and great-grandparents grew up on with "dooryard" gardens close to food preparation areas and food grown close to home.
While you may not live on a farm, there’s no reason you can’t join in on this healthful approach to organic, fresh eating. The Cape Organics team can help you start raising your own food in a sustainable and fun way.
Our garden designs, installation, and instruction will help you incorporate nutritious produce into your everyday eating through backyard farming – no matter what size your outdoor space may be. Our services include:
-
Soil testing and amending
-
Site analysis, selection, and design for optimal growing conditions
