Griggs Farms LLC began searching for ways to be even more conservation minded in the late 2000's. This included reducing inputs such as chemicals and synthetic fertilizers and adopting the use of manure and cover crops along with building multiple water control structures to reduce the erosion of our valuable soil. The last few years has seen Griggs Farms LLC become locally and nationally recognized for our efforts at protecting the environment and leading the way to a more sustainable future of agriculture.
