Doing our Part
Here at A's and O's Farm, we are concerned about the current state of the environment. We are making efforts to do our part, to reduce our carbon footprint, and offset our impact on the fragile environment we live in.
Our home is annually featured in the Ohio Solar Tour, and Tom regularly gives talks on renewable energy. We have an 8000watt solar array located near the house which generates most of the electricity we use. We also have invested in some very high efficiency appliances including our tankless hot water heater, our washing machine, and our dishwasher.
We grow all of our crops without harmful pesticides and chemicals, and we use natural fertilizers such as compost and manure. We water our crops with water pumped via solar power from a well on our property. Most weeding is done by hand, as is the majority of the turning of the soil each spring.
