"The quality of our nutrition depends upon the quality of our food. The quality of our food depends primarily upon
the quality of our soil upon which it is grown."

Welcome to our web site!
Welcome to our Organic Pomona Farm that is located in Coldspring, TX. We named our farm Pomona because it is a
big and beautiful orchard of fig, pomegrate, apple, pear, and persimmons trees, and Pomona means fruit in Greek. All right,
all right, let's speak English. Welcome to our Organic Fruit Farm.
What do we use in our farm? The answer is very simple. We use the energy of the sun and the fertility of the soil.
We never use any petrol-chemicals in growing our fruits and vegetables. We believe only in the organic method of growing
any vegetables and fruits, and our animals help us with it. Oh, I am sorry. They are not our animals, but they are members
of our family.
Let me introduce to you our family.
1) Our Jersey cow Elsie. Look at the pictures of how beautiful she is. Elsie produces incredibly delicious milk
for us, and we do our best to keep her very clean, healthy, and happy. Every morning I give to my precious cow carrot pulp,
and she eats some fruits from our orchard where she is pasturing among the fruit trees. Elsie enjoys
eating the fresh and green baby grass. We cut the grass in the orchard every two weeks during the season.
According to the scientific research, the baby grass is several hundred times more nutritious than regular grass. We
keep the sheep, the geese, and the ducks in the orchard, All of them are composting our soil, and because
of this natural fertilizing, grass in our orchard is very green, lush, and nutritious.
Composting and cutting the grass are two resourses that make our Elsie's milk so incredibly delicious, and full
of vitamins, enzymes, and nutrition. Elsie is a Jersey dairy cow, and this breed produces milk that is very high in butterfat.
It is so delicous!
I am so happy that one day we decided to buy a cow for our organic farm, She is a lovely pet, she gives us delicious
milk, and she participates in our efforts of building our truly organic farm.
3) Our black faced or Hempshire sheep They are very cute and lovely. They like to relax under the big fig trees. The
sheep make such a peaceful and picturesque sight on our Organic Pomona farm.
4) Our geese, turkeys, and ducks. We keep our geese because they fertilize the soil very well. The turkeys and the ducks
help them with it. It is one of the best methods in organic farming. There was a lot of weeds in our orchard when
we started practicing this method. After two years of keeping our birds, most weeds had disappeared. That is exactly
what H.J. Massingham told in his famous book "Wisdom of the Fields". I would recommend this book to everyone who starts organic
farming.
5) Our chickens. I have about twenty of them in our farm. They are free range chickens. They enjoy their lives by walking
around and eating fresh and green grass, chasing insects, and swimming in the dirt. The eggs that they lay have super bright
orange yolks and are simply delicious.
I really enjoy my organic farm and love my freshest and delicious foods that it gives me. I would like to share
my knowledge about organic farming. If you are interested and have any questions about it , then please
contact me.
