Open Farm Day 2025
This is our annual meet and greet for farm share holders and your farmers. Learn all about organic fruit & vegetable farming at Indian Creek Orchard Garden. Meet your farmers. Ask questions.
This is a walking lecture where Scott Sigurdson, co-founder of Indian Creek Orchard Gardens, will explain all of the natural growing methods in use at Indian Creek Orchard Garden. These are the methods that allow us to produce safe, healthy, nutrient dense fruit and vegetables without resort to any chemical pesticides or fertilizers of any kind.
We will elaborate on how we use the structure of the orchard garden to create natural partitions that buffer it from disease and insect pressure. We will discuss the pests, the predators, their habitats and the implications. We will also discuss how we use time as a partition as well show you several examples of man made partitions as additional tools in the arsenal of the organic gardener. We will also demonstrate how we use the topography of your site and our drainage system to ensure water autonomy and prevent any offsite contamination from entering our growing areas.
General Tour | 10.45am – Noon
This is a casual narrated tour of every area of the orchard garden. We will visit the greenhouses, the propagation house, the vegetable beds, the grape vines, the orchard and the irrigation pond.
