GOT WATER?

Here at MacKie Farms, a certified produce farm, we believe in saving the environment and it's viable resources. For years we continue to struggle with new laws and legislation concerning such. It's quite an education adventure to say the least. We are continuously learning new ways to save water, and yet, produce a full crop. MacKie Farms operates on a drip irrigation system. Could you imagine trying to flood irrigate this?

For those of you who don't know much about farming, and want to learn, that's why we are here. We are also here to learn from you!

Although we have to walk the acres of trees to check the water flow in each line, on each tree, we maintain a minimal water use.

Here's the results after four years!

In closing...

We would appreciate any resources other farmers have! Of course, we are now working with local universities, state agriculture facilties, and local farmers. Some things people try work for them and some don't. Along with the water, you've got bird control, gophers, rabbits, even the coyotes nibbling at your stuff.

Each farm operates differently but we all share the same common goal...sharing with the community!
