Reviews for: Happy Bee Heirloom Farm

Using renewable energy, collecting rainwater, and using nutrients for hydroponic gardening that have been obtained safely and adhere to OMRI standards are a few examples of our commitment to sustainable farming practices. Growing healthy and delicious food locally for the community in which we live and delivery within a 20 mile radius using a hybrid vehicle is another example of trying to work within our Earth's ecological boundaries. We have created wildlife habitat for predators and pollinators and all other microorganisms that occupy our land. This farm may be imperfect as we continue to learn from what we do and from the living environment on this farm. We walk our talk and respect all life...there is no need for us to greenwash anything.

The Happy Bee Heirloom Farm's claim to be less dependant on Fossil Fuels by reusing water may be true but... Using all the energy to keep a greenhouse heated all year around (of course when needed) is probably fueled by some form of fossil fuel. Correct us if we're wrong. Furthermore, using a hydroponic system means that the nutrients used to grow the produce must be constantly mined and synthesized and shipped in from all over the globe instead of retrieving nutrients naturally from the local geology and air. This claim of fossil fuel reduction is only a partial reduction in an operation that is quite above average in fossil fuel consumption in the first place. This is "green washing."
