Welcome to Surprise Valley Agroecology: Cultivating Health from the Ground Up
Symptomatic Approach (what we DON'T do)
React to problems as they appear
Spray for pests and diseases
Treat symptoms repeatedly
Constant input cycle
Declining soil health over time
Foundational Approach (what we DO)
Prevent problems through soil health
Build plant genetic expression
Address root causes once
Reduce inputs over time
Improve soil health year over year
THE DIFFERENCE (Foundational vs. Symptomatic)
Our Philosophy: "When plants reach high genetic expression through proper soil nutrition, they're no longer suitable food sources for pests. This is foundational health—preventing problems rather than treating symptoms."
