Nearly all the produce offered for sale are picked early in the morning hours on the same day they're offered for sale. That's why our produce tastes so good!!
We also offer strawberries, raspberries, peaches and apples when they are in season.

Pesticide application   Transplanting onions in the field.

Mayneland Farm is not a certified organic farm. However, our policy is to use the least toxic pesticide that will do the job. We use organic methods such as crop rotation, hand and mechanical weeding, and mushroom compost in the high tunnels. We do use small quantities of chemical fertilizer, some fungicides and some insecticides which have the least toxic label. Organic certified commercial producers are usually on a 2 to 3 days spraying cycle whereas conventional producers spray on a 7 to 10 day cycle. Therefore there is the possibility of greater pesticide residues on organic produce than non-organic.
