            Farmers don’t use synthetic fertilizers. So it takes awhile for the soil to get rich, on its natural self. The farmers don’t use any chemical and stuff because may cause ill or death to person who is eating his or hers product of there farm. But the cool thing if there bugs in there farm. They get lady bugs to eat it and when there is weeds they have to hand pull it themselves. Most of the farmers grow lettuce, arugala, kale, bok choy and flowers. They make soap out dried herbs, olive oil and buttermilk in the winter.
