    <H3>Certified Organic</H3>
        <p>Why do we not want to be come certified organic. Because 
        certified organic means a lot less that it is lead to believe. 
        being certified organic means that a company payed a bunch of 
        money to a government organization that then makes sure that that 
        company checks some boxes. Most of it has little to do with best farming 
        practices and more with making money. So no we don't want to be certified 
        organic, we don't want to be apart of a broken system. We want to grow and 
        make the best quality plants, and products that we can. We do extensive research 
        and tests on how to be able to make the heights quietly that we can. We then also 
        pass any savings we have by not paying for fancy certifications on to our customers. 
        Our products still may not be the cheapest on the market because we put a 
        lot of energy and love into everything we make.</p>
    <H3>Permiculture</H3>
            <p>We grow our plants in alience with nature. We have 2 types of hugals which most of 
            our plants grow on. We have field hugals which are 2 feet tall hugals that mostly 
            our annuals and full sun plants grow on. Our perannuals grow on 5 foot hugals in 
            a food forest. The hugals allow us to not have to water as they naturally retain 
            the rain water for the plants druing times of drought. This means less water needs to 
            be pumped out of the ground and allowing nature to sustain life naturally.
            Intstead of using pesticites we use compainon planting as an example 
            plating radishs near plants that are having an issue with snails will draw the 
            snails on to the beets saving the other plants from the snals. We use almost no 
            outside fertlier. If we do have to use an outside fertlizer we get manure from a
            local outdoor grass fed cow farm. Primarly the fertlizer we make using worms and ducks.
            The primary diet of our ducks and worms is food we grow on our property. This ensures
            a healthy cyle of life pesticide free.</p>
    <H3>Sales</H3>
        <p>We don't do sales because sales is often a company that is instead of 
        selling the product at a 70% mark up is now selling it for 50% mark up. Which makes 
        it seem great, but when you are buying it not on sale you paying a more inflated 
        price than it needed to be. Here we are simply charging what it takes us to make and sell
        products in the best way we can. Our products our priced by the time, energy, and input 
        into each product. For example if you have ever looked at a menu and see that an egg 
        and sausage patty with toast cost more then an egg and sausage patty with toast that 
        is now in the form of a sandwich. That means they are not making a 1 to 1 for there 
        prices. Here we calculate exactly how much goes in to each product to determine the price. 
        So you know that every item you buy is made in the best possible way while giving 
        you the best value possible every time. </p>
