Review of Terra Preta Farm by TexasRealFood

In Edinburg, Terra Preta Farm is a "family farm serving the Rio Grande Valley area. They grow organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers". Juan, Shakera, Little Shake, Kanani, and Andres are the family members that manage it. Although they opened for business in November of 2011, they have been in agriculture since 1996. Moreover, they "see soil fertility as the core of successful organic farming", and that's why they work hard in keeping their soil very active and full of minerals. Also, they are offering weekly and biweekly vegetable shares. Check them out at McAllen Farmers' Market on Saturdays from 10 am to 1 pm.  They haven't updated their CSA page since October 2014, contact them directly for more information.

Farming Methods, Practices & Certifications

Certified Organic Certified Organic

Certified Organic

This is food or agricultural practices that comply with the standards of organic farming. These standards may vary worldwide, but generally speaking, organic means that pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemical additives/amendments are restricted, in the aim of protecting ecological biodiversity. For a farm or a food to be certified organic in the US, they need to obtain a special certification from the governmental food safety authority, the National Organic Program of the USDA. Organic foods are increasingly demanded by the consumer, from a concern for personal health and for the ecosystem.  There are many ways to become Certified Organic, but the most common one for the US is the government agency USDA Organic. Organic certification requires that farmers and handlers document their processes and get inspected every year. Organic producers rely on natural substances and physical, mechanical, or biologically based farming methods to the fullest extent possible.UD

Integrated Pest Management Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management

Also known as Integrated Pest Control, it is a broad-based approach that integrates practices for economic control of pests. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) aims to suppress pest populations below the economic injury level. It is the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize the risks to human health and the environment. IPM emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms.

Naturally Grown Naturally Grown

Naturally Grown

Some of the businesses listed in our directory will be using the same principles as Certified Naturally Grown farmers, but without the certification. Certifications can often be expensive and time consuming for most farmers to participate in, and therefore we feel it is important to acknowledge those who practice good land stewardship, without certification.
