Organic Gardening? Welcome to WoodCreek Farm! Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, WoodCreek Farm has become a mainstay in the community for Naturally Grown Organic, Herbs, Plants, and Vegetables. In addition, WoodCreek Farm carries a diverse offering of Natural and Organic Growing Supplies. We are a working farm, not a farm supply warehouse in in Some City, Somewhere. We use all of the organic products we sell at one time or another throughout the growing seasons. Inquiries are welcome, Advise is Free! “One of the keys to our future – a future of clean air and water, healthy soil, and nutritious organically grown food – is your garden”. “By growing gardens rich in diversity, we improve our own health and that of the environment, while doing our part to conserve the genetic legacy of the earth. As with natural ecosystems, diversity in the garden provides many benefits. Diverse plantings harbor beneficial insects and critical pollinators. Varied diets provide plants with more complete nutrition. Cover cropping, crop rotation, and composting a variety of plant materials builds healthy, balanced, living soils. Through cultivating diversity our gardens become harmonious, ever-changing environments of wonder and discovery, while producing an abundance of food, flowers, medicine, and habitat for wildlife and ourselves”. Growing Information and Resources SUSTAINABLE ENERGY Nearly all forms of energy we use today to power our vehicles and appliances originate as a form of solar energy. Our indirect fuels of Oil, gas, coal, wood and even hydroelectric resources simply wouldn't exist without the sun. Given any thought at all, most of us realize the foolishness of squandering these valuable, usually irreplaceable, natural resources. Especially so, since at the same time we are polluting our air, water, and generally our environment through their increased use. Yet, we continue in our short sightedness to waste the resources given us by the sun rather than going to the source and harnessing the sun's limitless energy directly. Slowly our society has accepted using the sun's abundance; but only when it has been shown to be the most cost effective method. With the rising costs of other choices, the decision for solar is making more economic sense. If you are interested in Sustainable Living and would like more information and tips on everything from energy conservation to energy saving products "Powered by the Sun" that you can install yourself, check out our sister company! |
