Know your FOOD - Our growing methods...
 
Cover cropping
  • Cover crops are planted for a variety of reasons - weed control, erosion prevention and soil quality (you can see our clover mix around the lettuce pictured on the left)
 
Crop rotation
  • We plant dissimilar plants in the same area in sequential seasons which works to prevent the build-up of pathogens and pests that occurs when the same plant is continously cropped
 
Chemical-free farming
  • We have never used synthetic chemicals or fertilizers on our fields, on our mushrooms or in our beehives
 
Mulching
  • We use [straw] mulch to inhbit weed growth, prevent erosion and retain moisture
 
 
 
 
Know your FARMER - Our personal story...
 
Owners Austin & Ashley met in college in 2011 where they were both studying Envrionmental Science - ironically they met in a Sustainability of Foods class! After realizing they had similar farming ambitions Sayler Farmacy was created and, in the summer of 2014, they began vending at the Oshkosh Farmer's Market. After a season of hard work, lessons learned and connections made, the 2014 growing season was definately a success. Since our season of initation we have been growing our farm. Austin built a large hoophouse for his mushrooms and Ashley went from one to six beehives. When you purchase our products you support two young farmers working towards making farming their livelyhood. We appreciate our very supportive families and our wonderful customers. If you would like to conveinently place an order please visit our 'Contact Us' page!
 
When Austin & Ashley aren't busy they do enjoy camping, hiking, traveling (that's us backpacking in Utah!), kayaking, attending concerts, hunting, fishing, skiing and snowboarding. They especially care about learning more - between reading, conferences, trial and error, Austin and Ashley are always refining their skills as food providers, community members and environmental stewards. Being self sufficient is something that can never be perfected - we are always learning! 

Know your food, Know your farmer
