The Farm

At Flora Farm, the essence of our agricultural practices lies in manual craftsmanship. Our approach involves tending to the land with the utmost care, employing minimal or no soil disruption. Rather than conventional methods, we opt to nurture the soil from its surface down, employing layers of enriching compost, nourishing mulch, and the organic remains of cover crops in decomposition. Embracing a philosophy of holistic growth, we practice crop rotation to sustain soil vitality and promote natural insect control—guided by our belief in the synergy of companion planting. The essence of our approach extends to pest management, where intervention is judiciously executed using nature's own tools—think chili pepper, herb, and garlic essences—applied only as necessary.

Here, we have an ideal winter growing season that can last up to 8 months. From November to June, our focus turns predominantly to cultivating Heirloom vegetables and herbs, while the months of July through October usher in an abundance of fruits, including pineapple, mangos, papayas, guanabana, soursop, and bananas. Altogether, we cultivate a diverse tapestry of over 100 vegetable and herb varieties, embracing a growing season that gracefully transitions through a lush summer to a gentle fall, a temperate winter, and an inviting spring—each phase ushering forth abundant harvests in succession.
