Cultural Operations
Cultural Operations encompasses almost all work that is done in the field - from the initial setup of a field to....
- planting
- pruning
- tillage and field preparation
- fertility management
- crop load management (thinning)
- weed management strategies
- Integrated Pest Management
As you can see, the area of Cultural Operations (sometimes referred to as Cultural Practices), is enormous. We have broken it down to the above subsections in order to make it easier for you to navigate from one area of operations to another. The list is far from complete right now and we will be adding more information, videos, and pictures as time permits.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if there is something you would like to see but are unable to locate on our website - thanks!!
initial field setup and planting
In this section we take a look at the process of taking a piece of land and preparing it for permanent crops (trees or vines), as well as planting the new crops.
pruning
Maximizing efficiency and controlling spring and summer costs, along with promoting orchard health and longevity - that is what pruning is all about!
Take a look at our winter and summer pruning operations HERE!
weed management
One of the most challenging aspects of maintaining an organic farming operation is weed management.
