Introducing one of our Sister Farms

This sister farm is the mirror image of Ambrosia in it's sustainable techniques  - they are beyond organic - no plastic - no gmos - no additives expect the compost, glass clippings, cover cropping, and mulch.

We are shepherds to the land, our sister farm and us, only giving for the sake of being nurturing, kind, generous, and altruistic - as most parents are to their children.  Perhaps that is what you are too - a nurturer of Ambrosia Farms, because you support our way of giving to the Earth and to creatures great and small -  to our bodies, and to our selves!
