Dear Christy, The farm is Ladybug Oak Grove located in central Florida in the midst of the citrus belt. The farmer is John Krohn. He was inspired by and is a neighbor of Hunter Lilly, another citrus farmer who supplied us a few years ago, who worked with Hugh Lovel. He uses compost and preps in the grove. In my conversations with the farmer, he has explained how he and Hunter are lone pioneers (my word) down there among chemicals galore used in citrus growing. He told of the greatly visible decrease in wildlife in Florida in general over the years and of how the industry is being taken by foreign interests. He appreciates our support SO much even for the few cases we buy. Hope it helps, Linette Spiritual Food for the New Millenium
