Clupper's Organic Gardenspromotes
the growing of healthful food throughout the world while conserving
natural resources and protecting the environment by encouraging attitudes
and activities necessary to understand, appreciate and change the
interrelationships among humans, their culture and the environment.
. Organic farmers realize that the soil is a living entity, therefore
organic practices feed the soil which in turn feed the plant. Organic
farming is a management intensive, not a material intensive, technology;
materials are a supplementary tool in a balanced farm management program.
Organic farmers attempt to understand and work in harmony with the natural
biological systems on the farm, not override them with chemicals (even
naturally derived ones). They strive to develop cultural and biological
means of crop nutrition and protection that are balanced, sustainable, and
resilient.
