OUR HISTORY

1985

Green Valley Farm was founded by the Johnson family on 40 acres of previously conventional farmland. With a vision of creating a sustainable farm that would heal the land, they began the transition to organic practices.

FARM PROJECTS

Discover our ongoing initiatives that are transforming agriculture and supporting our local community.

Water Conservation Project

Water Conservation Initiative

Our comprehensive water management system combines rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and precision drip irrigation to reduce water usage by 70% compared to conventional farming. We've created a series of swales and catchment ponds that not only conserve water but also create diverse wildlife habitats throughout the property. This project serves as a demonstration site for farmers looking to implement similar water-wise techniques.

Biodiversity Restoration Project

Biodiversity Restoration

We've dedicated 30 acres to native plant restoration, creating corridors of habitat for pollinators, beneficial insects, and local wildlife. Our biodiversity project includes hedgerows, wildflower meadows, and wetland rehabilitation. Since beginning this initiative, we've documented over 120 bird species, 45 butterfly species, and countless beneficial insects that help maintain natural pest balance on the farm, reducing the need for any intervention.

Carbon Sequestration Project

Carbon Farming Program

Through innovative soil management practices, we're actively pulling carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in our soil. Our techniques include no-till farming, cover cropping, composting, and managed rotational grazing. Scientific testing shows we've increased soil organic matter by 8% in just five years, effectively sequestering approximately 5 tons of carbon per acre annually while simultaneously improving soil fertility and crop resilience.
