IPM
IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive
approach to pest management. It is used to manage pest damage by the most
economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and
the environment. IPM takes advantage of all
appropriate pest management options including, but not limited to, the
judicious use of pesticides. In addition, Oakdale Farm's produce is organic.
This means they limit the use of pesticides to those that are produced from natural
sources, as opposed to synthetic chemicals. The combined result is that produce
from Oakdale Farm is grown with minimal use of organic pesticides. You can feel
assured that you are getting farm fresh safe, healthy and nutritious produce.
