About Us
Deep Root Gardens is a small, family run farm located 15 miles south of Sioux Falls in Worthing, South Dakota. 2012 was our first growing year after having spent a year apprenticing on another local farm and participating in the Farm Beginnings program through Dakota Rural Action. Our farm produces locally grown, pesticide & herbicide free food. But most importantly, it is delicious! We are incredibly excited about our 7th season and we hope you will join us!

Our Growing Practices
We take a biological approach to soil fertility. Our soil fertility practices focus on feeding the soil and its micro organisms, not the plant. We use animal manure, compost, green manure and crop rotation and then let the natural biological process provide nutrient to our plants. We do not rely on water soluble quick fix fertilizers for our soil fertility. In the future, we will be focusing on farm generated fertility to become more sustainable as a farm, rather than relying on outside resources. This will be better for our bottom line and will also contribute to our long-term sustainability.

Our weed control practices consist of hand weeding, mulch, wheel-hoeing and having some tolerance for weeds. We do not rely on mechanical cultivation. Although we do use a tractor and walk-behind tiller, the majority of our labor is done by hand.
