What does the VABF actually do?
VABF’s mission is to educate about, advocate for, and promote organic and biological farming and gardening. VABF encompasses a community of farmers, gardeners, homesteaders, students, teachers, researchers, and general supporters of local and sustainable food systems!
What is Biological Farming?
Biological Farming is an approach to food and fiber production that respects the natural processes in the farm or garden ecosystem in order to yield top quality products, provide a viable living for the producer, and sustain long-term productivity. Practitioners use ecologically sound methods of agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, and livestock husbandry to provide food that is as nutritious and free from toxic residues as possible, and which preserves the balance found in natural ecosystems.
I have many fond memories of VABF annual meetings, the relationships, and the knowledge that I have received from so many. Whether you are a farmer or a gardener I would encourage you to join VABF. www.vabf.org
