The planting concept of Shanghai Kaixin Farm Garden Club is one level higher than organic:
1/ Off-season vegetables make us lose nutrients!
——We only grow seasonal vegetables!
2/ The deliberate pursuit of yield makes us consume chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth agents and preservatives!
——We only ask for natural yields!
3/ Chemical fertilizer residues cause various diseases!
——We only use farmyard manure!
4/ Pesticide residues can poison people and cause cancer!
——We would rather use organic pest control methods such as pepper water and garlic water, and never use chemical pesticides! 5/ Greenhouse cultivation loses natural sunlight and air!
——We insist on planting in the open field and let the crops absorb the aura of heaven and earth!
6/ Continuous cropping and continuation of crops lead to reduced fertility, accumulation of toxic substances, and increased pests and diseases!
——We use intercropping and rotation methods!
7/ Instant chicken only takes 60 days!
——Our chickens are only raised in the mountains and forests, and the growth period is at least 6 months!
