Cayuga Pure Organics - Northeast Growers and Purveyors of Organic Dry Beans, Grains, and Flour

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 community's 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.

If you are in the Ithaca area, you are welcomed to schedule a tour of the farm; or if you are in town for longer check in at the farm's Bed and Breakfast: Brookton Hollow Farm B & B! Visit www.bhfarm.com for details.
