About Sacred Seed Farm
Sacred Seed Farm rests in the beautiful Finger Lake highlands of Summerhill, in southeast Cayuga County. The farm overlooks Lake Como and the wetland headwaters of Fall Creek, which runs to Cayuga Lake. Bordered by several thousand acres of forest, this pristine location offers a unique, diverse and protected environment in which to experience the seasons and grow good, clean food.
Organic farming methods are practiced that respect the land and its intricate and diverse living systems. We use cover cropping, compost, rock minerals, mulches and weeds for fertility. We engage in preventative strategies for pest and disease management and encourage habitat for different beneficial insects. We emphasize flavor in our variety selections and top quality in our harvest. All of our produce is grown on 7 acres and only marketed fresh and locally, within 30 miles of the farm. . Although we are USDA certified organic, we believe our standards and quality go beyond the “organic” label.
What are we doing during March?
Spring is coming on fast. If you look around, life is starting to sprout up beside the remnants of snow that are melting away. Right now we are busy getting ready for the beginning of the growing season. Soil is being mixed, seeds organized and crop rotations planned. We will have the greenhouse warmed up and ready in the next few weeks and the first seeds planted so that we can share our bounty with you, whether you are a CSA member or shopping at the Ithaca Farmer's Market.
