WHY WE FARM

At Sun Spirit Farm, we grow hemp for its positive health benefits. We have always relied on herbal medicine, using tinctures, teas, and oils to treat everything from allergies to body pains. These principles even apply to the way we farm, using herbal sprays and home-brewed fertility blends to treat the plants. This is all rooted in the belief that the nature holds the cure and, given the right tools, our bodies and plants can heal themselves.
​
As a parents to a special needs child, the farmers, Rachelle and Andrew, understand what it is like to care for a medically complex, medically fragile person. They knows the struggle of trying to find treatments that work and are accessible, without hazardous side effects. They hope that their farm will give families another resource, and provide a better option, while they seek a higher level of wellness.

In the end, the truth will lies in how your body interacts with this herb, and what impact it has on your day to day life. The only way to know is to try it…

HOW WE FARM

Sun Spirit Farm uses all natural, chemical-free, biodynamic growing practices. The land we farm has been in organic cultivation for over a decade. The head farmer, Rachelle, has been using organic farming methods for 15 years. Our way of growing is deeply rooted in the land and ecological principles.

• Herbal treatments for crop pests and disease, such as biodynamic horsetail for fungal diseases and neem oil to deter pests.
• Create a balanced farm ecosystem to keep pests in check and help crops flourish. This includes maintaining pollinator habitats, releasing beneficial insects, such as lady bugs into the greenhouse or field, and understanding the role “weeds” play on the farm.
• Natural fertility is the key to healthy crops. We use compost, worm castings, kelp and seaweed, and other organic nutrients, along with crop rotation and cover crops to build and maintain soil health.
• Use of biodynamic preparations and cosmic calendar to optimize plants vitality.
