Growing Practices

Stony Creek Farm uses a mix of conventional and organic sprays with the intention of reducing ecological harm to our farmers, the environment, and our consumers.

All spray applications after July are approved for organic use in order to reduce exposure when apples are harvested.

See below for the spray schedule:

Organic Sprays – Total of 7 sprays applied March-September: Stylet Oil, Borosol, BT, Calcium, Regalia, Cueva Copper, Double Nickel

Conventional Sprays – Total of 9 sprays applied March-July: Badge, Rally, Harbour (Streptomycin), Avaunt, Sivanto, Carbaryl, Apogee, Aluminum Sulfate, Pristine
