Whether locally grown or on a large farm the use of pesticides causes ground water contamination. The pesticides used are washed off by rain and irrigation often finds its way into our ground water, and your drinking supply. Water is one of our most valuable resources, without it we cannot survive. The contamination of our ground water can result in poor drinking water quality, loss of water supply, degraded surface water systems, high cleanup costs, high costs for alternative water supplies and potential health problems.

When you grow with A Backyard Farm you can rest assured that we do not add to the already poor quality of our ground water. We grow healthy organic fruits and vegetables that are not only better for you but better for our environment.
