No, not according to the strict industry definitions of being certified organic. We do use a significant amount of organic methods but an organic approved practice like tillage, that is destructive to soil life and can lead to soil erosion, is not utilized. We are adamant that there are cover crops planted on every acre of our farm- we have living roots in the soil almost every day of the year. Very few organic vegetable or row crop farms can claim that! In addition, we do NOT use plastic in the fields when growing our CBD hemp.Most organic farmers use plastic. That is an extra expense, limits rainwater infiltration by up to 30%, enhances the potential for soil erosion between the rows, kills microbes in the soil by overheating the top few inches of soil before the plants shade over, and as you can imagine creates a disposal problem. Instead, we have a better way, one that has been perfected in over 25 years of vegetable production here at Cedar Meadow Farm - using cover crops! We have proven to be BETTER than most organic farms in the context of soil health.Over the past 3 years, our soils have been evaluated by the Soil Health Benchmark Study, coordinated by the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (Pasa).

Organic farms are even allowed to use certain synthetic substances as outlined by the UDSA National Organic Program.This is a more comprehensive list of approved crop amendments and pesticides for organic production. Most are "natural" but not all. (See more in our Soil Health 101 FAQ.)
