Waterpennies are beetle larvae that can only live in clean water. Their presence in a stream indicates that the water is healthy. Our farm is named for the waterpennies we find in the river that borders our farm. We farm in a sustainable way, using all organic practices, like cover cropping, minimal tillage, plantings for beneficial insects, and water conservation, and use no pesticides in our fields. We hope this allows the waterpennies, and therefore our local ecosystem, to thrive.
