Growers are paying attention and valuing traditional and historical Organic farming practices, recognizing the amount of damage sterile chemical "conventional" farming has done in a very short time. We are excited and proud to work with all of our growers that respect all aspects of farming and land stewardship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/8ba7aa98-97d0-41a1-bcc9-d07b86205aad/bee-on-flower.png About Thermiculture - One of the things that makes desert agriculture unique is the landscape of so many produce varieties grown. Each produce variety allows for a diverse population of over-wintering and over-summering beneficial insect populations. This allows us to effectively utilize IPM (integrated pest management) strategies on all of our ranches. This is done by monitoring both pest populations and beneficial "predator" populations as they grow to help naturally keep tree and fruit damage under control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/a7a7822c-880a-47f9-9b4e-9826179fcd05/soil-food-web.png About Thermiculture Mostly, if not completely, invisible to the naked eye, many beneficial micro-organisms call soil their home. They include bacteria, fungi, arthropods, nematodes, and protozoa. Together they interact to transfer energy between each other in a complex ecosystem that’s called a soil food web. The various energy outputs provide plants with the ability to survive and thrive through gaining nutrients and retaining them, suppressing diseases, and building the structure of the soil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/0629ab0f-c791-478f-9b25-332453390720/collage-1.jpg About Thermiculture Ripe dates in crates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/14307739-58f9-4537-827f-333852f9d7c2/collage-5.jpg About Thermiculture Ripe lemons in crate in field of lemon trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1eb756a9-914d-4d6a-811b-c3ab942692e8/collage-3.jpg About Thermiculture Woman sorting dates in crates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/4f40140c-f880-43f4-946d-4a9ab9c57f0a/collage-7.jpg About Thermiculture Green lemons on tree branch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/b03e447c-f31d-45c2-bf54-48cd03568a92/collage-11.jpg About Thermiculture Citrus grove with desert mountains in the background https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/51200472-0442-4e68-aaff-4f894c3a9add/collage-9.jpg About Thermiculture A hand holding citrus fruit cut in half https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/e964a452-2860-4bc5-b386-55a705423c0a/collage-2.jpg About Thermiculture A red crate of ripe dates and a yellow crate of ripe dates placed side by side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/ae1d4a65-eb97-4ad6-ae0e-b8818d22f462/collage-6.jpg About Thermiculture a pile of lemons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/2d699bdd-f132-4455-947a-7192e6968197/collage-4.jpg About Thermiculture Two men harvesting dates off of a date palm tree.

This improves the soil’s ability to absorb and infiltrate water by reducing soil erosion and runoff and giving it a better chance in droughts. The no-till approach also allows for slow evaporation and maintains a healthy soil biome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635558231459-40KBUFRN1TQ054NE4DA7/farming-tree-trimmings.jpg Farming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635558261792-CVWBKWVA2EOQ9P5DZSDN/farming-mulching.jpg Farming https://www.thermiculture.com/mechanical-tree-trimming daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635559653976-9QZZN8AW4LQXJCBQO6NV/maintenance-main.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635560325326-TBC7ZLDM281OO38PNWYW/topper-3.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635560292754-QMZB48USOO3XVKRUTKKQ/topper-2.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635560440942-28I0IEEFPS1WW8ODBKJZ/topper.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635561858892-WTYIMTC5KS114AL6BT16/hedger-1.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635561930187-T60XZ8S0ELVWNUOMZRXV/hedger-2.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635561948066-67VYWDDC7NACYL4ZM8Y5/hedger.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635562525217-8M3VWV65R5JCRNBL7GO3/shredder-2.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635562509612-SDBNE9M9MTG1RQ6PVF00/shredder-1.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635562574620-OOMBAA7W9CRWCZ50AA5A/shredder.jpg Mechanical Tree Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/422a0af8-8b83-4f47-a8bd-bb98bd09de5d/shred-animation.gif Mechanical Tree Trimming Animation of farm equipment chipping date palm fronds into mulch https://www.thermiculture.com/regenerative-agriculture daily 0.75 2021-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635564258199-IIL5EUS8OXEX9E8G5215/lemon-grapefruit.jpg Regenerative Agriculture - To reverse climate change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635564382010-4NFM9EO340H9X31G4SZ8/tractor.gif Regenerative Agriculture - It improves the land without doing any harm. https://www.thermiculture.com/soil-applications daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635563253085-Y9XXOO1IUJGNQV866GT5/redwoods.jpg Soil Applications - The Goal: To replicate one of the best disease suppressive, nutrient rich, perfectly balanced soils that grow some of the oldest trees on the planet — old growth redwood forests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635563693948-LP3G8H4O18T7R2Y818YV/hand-with-lemon.jpg Soil Applications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617c6c10d631067d0aeb00c4/1635563673554-OFBA41LCQ22L8RVL6YMI/hand-with-dirt.jpg Soil Applications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Soil Applications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Soil Applications
