What We Do

Our Farming Practices

Hilltop Hanover Farm uses sustainable methods  that:

• Promote biodiversity and thriving ecosystems
• Provide local, fresh, nutritious and organic food 
• Protect our environment for future generations

Some of our sustainable practices:

• We grow a variety of diverse crops including heritage varieties
• We use farming techniques such as crop rotation, contour tillage, and pasture-based livestock rotation that protect the soil
• We use humane and responsible livestock practices including promoting heritage breed
• We do not use toxic chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or GMO seeds
• We do not use tilling practices that erode the soil, or negatively impact water quality 
• We do not use dangerous practices like use of  antibiotics or growth hormones for our livestock

The value of a local and sustainable farm:

• Convenient access to fresh, nutritious, locally produced food
• The land is protected and preserved as open space
• Eating local means more money stays within your community and supports the local economy
• Provides employment opportunities for local residents
