Core Values

Sustainable Growing Practices

Boxwood Burrow follows sustainable growing practices and permaculture design principles.

This means all of the flowers & food grown on the farm are chemical and pesticide free. We use biological mitigation techniques to deal with pests, such as ladybugs for aphids & ducks, geese and chickens for slugs and wireworm!

We use organic fertilizers filled with alfalfa, seaweed and bone meal to promote root growth as well as worm castings for compost tea to feed the plants to help make them grow healthy & strong.

Conservation & Biodiversity

There has to be a balance when growing and harvesting from the land. Part of this includes supporting the ecosystems on the property.

By creating naturescapes filled with a variety of native flowering perennials, shrubs and grasses we can help sustain a more biodiverse landscape of flora and fauna on the farm.

We also focus on the addition of beneficial habitat features that can help our local pollinator species thrive. Environmental sustainability is a huge reason why I started Meadow Wren.

We save seed, We donate, We connect. We use battery tools over gas.

Every day we make decisions based on how best to live a sustainable life.

It’s important to step away from the use of chemicals, support our local economy and ecosystems, for future generations to come.
