Drift Farmstead

At Drift Farmstead, everything we do is rooted in healthy soil. Living soil is the foundation of human and environmental health. That’s why we use regenerative organic practices to grow and raise your food. When you have a healthy natural system, you don’t need chemicals or pesticides to grow good food. At Drift, we work with nature to create plant and animal health by using regenerative organic practices, including:
Interplanting crops — which means instead of monocultures, our fields are diversified with vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
Growing cover crops — aka “green manure”, these help naturally grow the soil.
No-till/Low-till — tilling destroys soil structure; our no/low till methods maintain soil integrity, which means plants get the nutrients they need without added inputs.
Intensive grazing for our livestock — this gives our animals constant access to fresh pasture. Intensive grazing has been shown to not only build soil, but also sequester carbon into the soil.
