We focus on building the soil through biological farming methods, including extensive cover cropping. The farm is home to the farmers, their cats, a large flock of laying hens, six &#8220;mower&#8221; sheep and countless wild creatures. Our infrastructure is focused on sustainable energy and includes a passive solar greenhouse, 30 gpm solar-powered irrigation system, electric tractor and utility vehicle, and a 20kW solar array that supplies most of the farm&#8217;s electricity needs. Fair Share Farm&#8217;s 20 acres is surrounded by the larger family farm where native grasses are grown for seed production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fairsharefarm.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/home-page-replace-high-tunnel-pic-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Motto:  &#8220;Feed the Soil &#8211; Feed the People&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Healthy people run on healthy crops grown in healthy soil.  We build our soil through a combination of cover cropping, mulching, compost application, chicken rotations, mineral additions, and water management.
