Sweet Land Farm is located in Trumansburg, NY, an area with a rich farming history now enjoying an agricultural revival. The native soil here is deep, dark, and luscious. Sweet Land Farm shares property boundaries, a spirit of cooperation, and pleasant neighborliness with a certified organic grain farm. We use only certified organic inputs and OMRI approved products, but do not get organic certification. A third of Sweet Land’s acreage is in annual vegetables, with an acre or so in perennial and bi-annual fruit, and the balance is in cover crops. We believe that the backbone of a healthy, thriving farm is healthy, thriving soil. To accomplish this, we rotate annual crops with cover crops. The cover crops are grown, chopped, and tilled back into the soil to add organic matter back to our soil and capture and recycle nutrients for the crops we harvest and eat. You will see large acreage of sunflowers, mixed with sun hemp, peas, and sudangrass when you come to farm this summer that are part of our cover crop rotation.
