Buckwheat Cover Crop, Summer 2014
Smiling Dog Farm is a small, diversified farm on 14 acres in Lumberton, New Jersey. Our products include greenhouse plants (vegetable, flower and herb plants), pastured heritage turkeys, Gotland sheep wool for handspinners, honey and beeswax candles. Our products are primarily sold at area farmers markets and festivals, to customers interested in purchasing locally grown items.
The farm is managed using environmentally sound practices, such as using cover crops and compost for maintaining soil health and biological activity, minimizing tillage, and installing tree windbreaks for preventing drift from adjacent farms. Originally a crop farm, most of our land is now planted in permanent pasture used for livestock grazing and pastured poultry. We also maintain a small area on the farm that is dedicated to pollinator habitat, planted with native flowers, grasses and shrubs that are specifically designed to ensure habitat for native pollinator species.
We farm using sustainable methods and do not use synthetic fertilizers, toxic pesticides or herbicides on the farm.
