We are growing sustainably in North Florida in order to produce the best possible quality and flavor that makes you smile.
Every 1st and 3rd Saturday is Volunteer Work Day at Eden Gardens Jax. Come out and have some fun in the dirt.
What is Sustainable Farming?
In simpler terms, sustainable farming is farming ecologically by promoting methods and practices that are economically viable, environmentally sound and protect public health.
Sustainable farming or Sustainable agriculture helps the farmers innovate and employ recycling methods, this apart from the conventional perks of farming. A very good example of recycling in sustainable farming would be the crop waste or animal manure. The same can be transformed into fertilizers that can help enrich the soil. Another method that can be employed is crop rotation. This helps the soil maintain its nutrients and keeps the soil rich and potent. Collection of rainwater via channeling and then its utilization for irrigation is also a good example of sustainable farming practices.
