Cayuga Pure Organics Online

The founders of Cayuga Pure Organics have been involved in the Ithaca, NY farming community since the early 1970's. In 2003 Erick Smith and Dan Lathwell furthered their commitment to the region's citizens and environment by joining together to form Cayuga Pure Organics.

CPO currently grows a wide variety of dry beans and grains. Although the company's main focus is toward healthy food for the communities people, CPO also grows certified organic feed for the region's livestock.

Part of CPO's dedication to the local environment is a pledge to not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers or genetically modified organisms. They are also a part of the ongoing search for sustainable farming practices including: no-till farming experiments, proper crop rotations, bio-diesel and other energy alternatives, on-farm composting, and the advancement of methods to sustainably build the health of the soil.
