At Sunrise Ranch, we practice what we call Holistic Agriculture, which is a foundational principle for working with the land and raising plants and animals as a whole system in a healthy and natural way. Holistic agriculture looks at the whole picture rather than fragmenting the parts into separate systems.
Beyond USDA Organic Standards:
*No chemical fertilizers
*No chemical pesticides
*No chemical herbicides
*No added hormones
*No antibiotics
Our approach and practices ensure that we are:
*Increasing biodiversity and decreasing bare ground
*Increasing the effectiveness of the water that falls on our land
*Ensuring that minerals present in our soil are cycling into our ecosystem efficiently
*Harvesting solar energy in our “living solar panel” of plant species in our pastures
*Building soil and ecosystem health
