What's Growing at Argosy Farm?
There is a connection between
environmentally sound growing practices and healthful food. At Argosy Farm, we
are dedicated to farming in a manner that encourages the natural ecosystem—to
improve and replenish the soil, deter pests, protect our water supply, and to
produce food that is high in nutritional value and flavor. We raise and
save seed from heirloom
vegetables without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Saving Heirloom Seeds:
We are in danger of losing much of the seed
diversity created over the last 10,000 years. Bioengineered seeds are quickly
contaminating the global seed supply, threatening the genetically-diverse seeds
that have been passed from generation to generation. Argosy Farm will preserve
heirloom seeds and work with seed saving organizations to help protect plant
diversity.
