Strawberries are usually the crop most heavily contaminated by pesticides in conventional production. Some sweet corn varieties are genetically modified (GMOs), which we have serious concerns about and are not allowed in organic seed production.

Given how much kiddos love to eat both of these crops and the problems with how they are conventionally grown, it is very important for them to be grown organically.

Devan, Fair Fields Owner, worked on various organic farms in the early 2000s before starting Fair Fields, so organic methods and ideas have always been part of our production systems at Fair Fields. When we started farming here in 2012, we were selling directly to regular customers, many of whom picked up their fruit and vegetables on the farm, so they could get to know us and how we farm.
