Woodsong Philosophy<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text]Soils are complex living organisms.\u00a0 Did you know that the amount of life in a teaspoon of\u00a0 Virginia forest soil is greater\u00a0 than the number of people on the planet?\u00a0 (source<\/a>)\u00a0 \u00a0The care and nourishment of\u00a0 life below the ground\u00a0 is the foundation of all Woodsong farming activities above the ground.\u00a0 We feed our soils as they\u00a0 feed us and employ the use of cover crops, legumes, woodchips, minimum and no tillage practices, as well as other natural organic amendments to invest in our soils.\u00a0 We do not use synthetic fertilizers or herbicides.\u00a0 In turn, this soil bio-life returns\u00a0 sustainable dividends and nutrient-dense food for our families.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1587647933017{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;border-top-color: #dddddd !important;border-bottom-color: #dddddd !important;}”][vc_column]
