We also sell a variety of crafts and wood products. You can find us at the Thursday Cape Farmer's Market at Westfield Shopping Center (the mall in Cape), usually from late June through September. Flat Tire Farms uses heirloom and hybrid vegetable and flower varieties. We don't use synthesized chemicals to grow our products. Although Flat Tire Farms is not a certified organic operation, we strive t
o be a sustainable one. We keep insecticide use to a minimum; we prefer to keep plants clean and healthy so they can maintain their own natural defenses. When an insecticide is used, I opt for OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) registered products. Prime examples of insecticides I use would be bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), spinosad, neem oil, or horticultural oil. For weeds and unwanted growth, I use ground cover fabric, or straw, a Mantis tiller and a Rogue scuffle hoe. Fertilizers are compost, and omri listed organic fertilizers such as blood meal, bone meal, fish emulsions, etc....
Over the years we have primarily become a flower farm, with limited production of vegetables. We very much appreciate everybody who visits us at the market! Thanks! Adam Kerr
