At the Blue Schoolhouse, we follow all natural, old fashioned farming principles no pesticides or herbicides on the plants and no hormones or antibiotics in the chickens and eggs. Instead of using chemicals, we use hand tools and human ingenuity to control insects, weeds, and other pests. We maintain soil fertility and health with cover crops, compost, and rotational plantings. And by picking the produce every few days, we ensure that you get the highest quality fruits and vegetables available. The taste, texture, color, and smell of our carefully tended authentic produce will be far superior to the weeks-old, road weary produce found in the supermarket. We have chosen not to seek official organic certification for several reasons, including the cost and the fact that it has been co-opted by large corporate agricultural interests.

Bill focuses on heirlooms vegetables based on their superior flavor and texture. He's famous for his amazing heirloom tomatoes and wide array of greens. He gets quite a bit of "help" from his little boys, ages 4.5 and 3!
