Our Mountain Pride fertilizer is chicken litter-based and OMRI-listed for organic production. This fertilizer has a 3-4-3 analysis, as it is comprised of 3% nitrogen, 4% phosphorus, and 3% potassium. In addition, it contains 10% calcium. The nutrients are slow release, making this product ideal for feeding and sustaining a healthy vegetable crop over the season. Being certified organic makes it especially ideal for market growers who specialize in organic produce, or for backyard/hobby gardeners who wish to produce only the healthiest, highest quality vegetables for themselves and their families while being good stewards of their land and the environment.

ExcludeNet exclusion netting is manufactured by Tek-Knit Industries in Montreal, Quebec. The netting is manufactured from high-density polyethylene yarn that’s made in the USA.
From Dale-Ila Riggs, farmer & owner of The Berry Patch, the domestic distributor of ExcludeNet: “In 2014, our first year of exclusion netting use, we achieved 0.67% infestation over a ten-week harvest period. In 2015, we achieved 0.37% infestation over six weeks, and in 2016 and 2018 we achieved 0.00% infestation over an eight-week harvest period.
