Beyond the Label: Our Commitment to Organic Integrity

At 3 Pajaritos Seed and Care of the Earth Community Farm, we believe that the health of your garden starts with the integrity of the seed. For us, "Organic" is more than a marketing term, it is a promise that every seed we harvest was grown in harmony with the local ecosystem.

Proudly Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth

Our 30-acre farm in Corryton, TN, is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth. As one of the most respected certifiers in the country, Oregon Tilth ensures that our farming practices meet and exceed strict federal standards.

What this means for your garden:

Zero Synthetic Chemicals: No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers are ever used on our land.

Non-GMO: Organic certification prohibits the use of genetically modified organisms. All of our seeds are also open-pollinated, which means you can save seed from your own garden!

Soil Stewardship: We focus on building soil health through cover cropping, crop rotation, and a whole-systems approach, ensuring your seeds will thrive in an organic system

Proudly Certified Real Organic by the Real Organic Project

While we are proud of our organic certification, our personal standards go beyond the national requirements. That is why we are also proudly Certified Real Organic. All of our crops are grown in soil. The focus of our farm is in fostering the health of our soil, which is the building block of our whole farm. For more information, see realorganicproject.org.

By maintaining our certifications, we provide you with a transparent, third-party guarantee that the seeds you plant are safe for your family, your soil, and the pollinators that visit your garden.
