A small portion of
Bracher Farms is dedicated to Organic Production. We are
continuously increasing the acreage and philosophy that encompasses
organic agriculture.
Our Organic
Certification is by OTCO (Oregon Tilth Certified Organic) under Cold
Springs Ranches.
Organic Mustard is grown on the farm.
Both yellow and brown mustard seed are harvested for the gourmet
condiment mustard market.
Weed control presents some challenges on an
organic farm. Sheep have proven to be a very effective
control.
Organic Grain is grown for Keltic Pride Dairy, an
organic dairy located adjacent to our farm.
Vegetable waste from local food processors provide
nutrients to feed our organic soils and crops.
