Hart Beet Farm Eolia, MO
Hart|Beet Farm was established in 2015 as a small, diversified farm in northern Lincoln County, MO. In 2018, they became Certified Naturally Grown, which is a grassroots alternative to the USDA's Certified Organic program. From their fields they grow a variety of vegetables with the promise to never use pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. From their forest they harvest many wild edibles including mushrooms, fruits, and maple sap.
Some fun facts and area information:

Grow for freshness too! The more alive the food when we consume it, the better it is for the life within us 🙏🏼 ❤

Planting rosemary next to tomatoes, or marigolds keeps lots of pests worms or bugs away, the same with garlic, or onions, Rosemarie also keeps deer away, plant a hedge of it around your garden,

[@loril.mangold8160]

Rosemary hedge around your field will keep out deer, and ducks will keep out bugs, and slugs, chickens will desimate your crops
