A portion of our farm is Certified Organic and the produce from those fields proudly bears that label. We undergo a rigorous inspection each year and perform a great deal of record keeping so we\u2019re always in compliance. Few local farms are able to meet the strict standards of organic certification.&nbsp;We\u2019re proud that our customers can see our dedication to quality local foods.&nbsp;We know it\u2019s worth it.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrated Pest Management<\/h2><p>Pests and crop damage can take a serious toll on food quality. But sprays and pesticides aren\u2019t the only solutions. We reduce the risk with a system that is both effective and sustainable. It\u2019s called Integrated Pest Management (IPM).<\/p><p>We use many different practices to ensure that all sorts of pests\u2014including insects, diseases, weeds, and more\u2014are less likely to harm our crops. It all starts with thoughtful prevention ideas such as:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wise site selection for plantings<\/li>\n\n<li>Crop rotation<\/li>\n\n<li>Pheromone trapping<\/li>\n\n<li>Planting resistant varieties<\/li>\n\n<li>Using biological controls and predatory insects<\/li>\n\n<li>Cultivation<\/li>\n\n<li>Eliminating alternate hosts<\/li>\n\n<li><\/li><\/ul><p>We contract with Rutgers University and other crop consultants to assist us in monitoring our crops and pest populations so we know exactly when we must control a pest.<\/p><p>Using IPM over time tremendously reduces dependence on pesticides. Today, we only make an application in extreme situations when there\u2019s no other way to protect our crops.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-b42edf9c\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-b42edf9c\" src=\"https:\/\/rebuild.alstedefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/usda-organic.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"usda-organic\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2q6dnj4cg2jw.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/16111125\/usda-organic.png 90w, https:\/\/d2q6dnj4cg2jw.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/16111125\/usda-organic-64x64.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 90px) 100vw, 90px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\"><div class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-5be06b43 gb-headline-text\"><br>A portion of our farm is Certified Organic and the produce that is grown and harvested from those fields proudly bears that label.<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certified Organic You\u2019ll also see our commitment to our local environment in our USDA Organic Certification.
