Our Vegetables

"I don't like tomatoes, but having tried yours, I've obviously been missing out!" - Ray S, Raleigh, NC
No "Cides"
All Ozark Akerz vegetables are grown with love and attention and without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. Our main crops include heirloom tomatoes and sweet and hot peppers. We will also plant ginger, turmeric, artichoke, celery and yac
ón in our R&D garden to see how they grow in our soil and how they taste before deciding whether we want to grow them on a larger scale.
Where to buy
Our heirloom tomatoes and peppers are available at Chatham Marketplace in Pittsboro, NC during the harvest season. The other vegetables
are currently being grown in smaller quantities in our R&D garden and will only be available if the flavors pass our stringent taste evaluation.
Permaculture
We adhere to the Permaculture principle of observing the impact of beneficial insects and weeds. One example is in our 2014 season when potato beetles started eating our young pepper and tomato plants. As weeds started to grow, we did the unthinkable, we let them grow bigger to see if any of them would be food for the potato beetles. To our surprise one of the weeds, horse nettle, was favored by the beetles before the peppers and tomatoes. Seeing this we let horse nettle grow in a controlled manner to keep the beetles from devouring our crops.
