Know Your Farmer:
We started Flying S Farms in 2003, with a strong desire to produce clean, healthy food through good stewardship of the land.
Our name Flying S Farms came from a family history of flying and reaching for the highest standards we can to provide you with the best we can grow or raise.
We believe that a healthy soil produces healthy plants, which produces healthy people. We use cover crops to build soil productivity along with the Albrecht System feeding the soil that reduces the need of commercial fertilizers or pesticides. We strive to use Organic and Sustainable growing methods and use non-GMO seeds.
Reasons to Eat Local Food:
Eating local means more for the local economy. A dollar spent locally generates twice as much income for the local economy. When businesses are not owned locally, money leaves the community at every transaction.
Locally grown produce is fresher. Most produce has been in transit or cold-stored for days or weeks. Freshness affects both the taste of your food and the nutritional value.
Locally grown fruits & vegetables have longer to ripen & taste better. Locally grown fruit does not have to be shipped thousands of miles and is allowed to ripen until the last possible minute on the vine.
Buying local food keeps us in touch with the seasons. By eating with the seasons, we can eat foods when they are at their peak flavor and nutrition, are most abundant - and the least expensive.
Buying locally grown food is fodder for a wonderful story. Knowing part of the story about your food is part of enjoying a meal.
Eating local means greater food security. Food with less distance to travel from farm to plate has less susceptibility to harmful contamination.
Local food translates to more variety. Farmers can try small crops of unusual or heirloom varieties that would probably never make it to a large market.
