AMR Garden is a young farm started in 2020. It began as just a bare plot of land.
AMR Gardens’ started as a star thistle and a dream. Inspired by the idea of farming organically and sustainably, our parents David Sydney Basil and Asuntha Maria Rozario started the tradition that we carry on today.
Both hard workers knew it wouldn’t be easy but with their hard work, sweat, tears and strong relationship they would be doing something they could be proud of and providing great example for their kids. Breaking up the ground, running irrigation, running electric, building an area to grow to conserve water, planting the seeds and seedlings, and operating the acreage not planted with veggies as an organic hay field. It was a labor of love and all the hard work brought their dream to life. What they created is not only a wonderful local resource for organic produce but also a welcoming family atmosphere filled with education, good times and entertainment.
AMR Garden is a small family-owned and operated organic farm that utilizes natural fertilizers and sustainable farming practices such as crop rotation and biological pest control to produce chemical-free fruits and vegetables. They strive to connect consumers with local agriculture and provide the freshest, healthiest produce. The farm is run with a focus on sustainability, diversity, and respect for the environment.
Farming sustainably and responsibly we work to bring you the freshest healthiest crops. It is important to us to bring back the connection to local agriculture and allow you to know your farmer. Our garden allows you to not only see the crops growing, choose from produce gathered that same day or pick your own straight off the plant, but also leave knowing that “it doesn’t get fresher than this”. Fresh produce tastes better and is better for you! We hope we get the chance to see you out at our garden and share a taste of enjoying nature’s goodness with you.
Organic and Sustainable to Our Roots
Our garden is planned in such a way that natural fertilizers like green manure, kitchen compost, biological pest control and crop rotation are utilized to produce chemical-free vegetables and fruits to maintain a perfect mental and physical health in a very economical way.
Green manure helps to get the nitrogen from atmosphere along with which it increases soil nutrients and helps to store and hold the organic matter and nutrients in the non-growth season. Hence, the soil remains fertile for longer durations. This also prevents diseases and insects.
We keep with our parents’ vision by practicing healthy crop rotation, encouraging a diverse ecosystem around the field, efficiently using local water sources and carefully selecting produce varieties that grow well and taste great.
Everyone should have the opportunity to support and experience local agriculture. There is so much more to our food than what we can experience at the grocery store. Without farmers there would be no food!
Organic Farming is a modest lifestyle that tests your patience on a daily basis. It is filled with manual labor, long hours, stinky smelly days and sleepless nights filled with worry. Our reward: A fresh beautiful and healthy fruit or vegetable we can be proud of, our smiling happy customers, the experiences we share together, the knowledge we share with all the kids that come out to visit.
We do what we love and love what we do!
