Review of Finca Pura Vida by TexasRealFood

Finca Pura Vida offers over a hundred heirloom vegetables and several varieties of heritage animals. Finca Pura Vida lives up to their promise of giving back more to the soil that what they take. Therefore, all of their plant and animal products contain more vegetables than any other organic and supermarket produce.

The owner Edgar applies natural and organic substances to the soil weekly to give back the nutrients that the previous harvest took from it. Some of the organic fertilizers the farm uses are earthworm castings, fish emulations, sea minerals, and more.

The farm also sells puppies like Yorkie puppies, milk, and meat products. If you like to try their products, you can join their CSA program.

Farming Methods, Practices & Certifications

Demeter Certified Biodynamic Demeter Certified Biodynamic

Demeter Certified Biodynamic

Demeter International is the largest certification organization for biodynamic agriculture, and is one of three predominant organic certifiers. The biodynamic certification requires biodiversity and ecosystem preservation, soil husbandry, livestock integration, prohibition of genetically engineered organisms, and viewing the farm as a living ‘holistic organism’. The Demeter certification program was established in 1928, and as such was the first ecological label for organically produced foods. See also: Biodynamic.

Grass Fed / Pastured Grass Fed / Pastured

Grass Fed / Pastured

The term “grass fed” (as opposed to grain fed) refers to meat obtained from cows that were raised on a diet of grass and other forage, such as clover; situated in pasture and, when fresh grass is unavailable, hay. This helps to denote the difference between livestock that has been raised in feedlots and generally fed a diet of soy and corn, versus animals that have had access to their natural feeding environment in pasture, which contains grasses, wildflowers, and herbs. This term overlaps with “pasture-raised” and will usually be seen together. Grass-fed beef is also believed to taste better, and be better for the environment, too. There are several organizations that offer a certification for Grass Fed, such as the American Grassfed Association, Certified Grassfed by A Greener World, and Pasture for Life, to name a few.

Naturally Grown Naturally Grown

Naturally Grown

Some of the businesses listed in our directory will be using the same principles as Certified Naturally Grown farmers, but without the certification. Certifications can often be expensive and time consuming for most farmers to participate in, and therefore we feel it is important to acknowledge those who practice good land stewardship, without certification.
