Beyond avoiding chemicals, Crooked Roots implements regenerative techniques including cover crops, compost application, and compost tea to enhance soil health, while integrating livestock grazing into their rotation before vegetable planting. Their mission centers on delivering 'high quality meats and vegetables' to Boulder County while prioritizing land stewardship through sustainable agriculture that balances productivity with environmental care.
