Why We Grow Organic: Insight from Affinity Farm

🌱 Why We Grow Organic: Insight from Affinity Farm 🌱
Kelly and Russell of Affinity Farm shared their inspiring decision and process with Casey, at the Snake River Seed Cooperative 2024 Grower Meeting! Here's what drives them:
💚 Why Organic?
Growing organically allows them to align their farming practices with their values, ensuring customers know exactly what they stand for-farming without chemicals.
It’s about participating in a bigger community conversation on ecological, economic, and social relationships, while staying connected to a larger system of sustainable agriculture.
Organic certification provides confidence and transparency for their buyers and customers, supporting their shared standards and philosophies.
🌾 Why SRSC?
Being part of the Snake River Seed Co-op creates a meaningful sense of community, especially as small growers in Idaho.
They love the Co-op’s collaborative, connective model that allows growers to come together and achieve remarkable things.
