Willowthorne is an organic farm. We do not use pesticides or herbicides. To help us protect our bees, pollinators, and wildlife:
• No yard sprays (such as Raid Yard Guard)
• Apply insect repellent only to your skin, clothing, or gear in the driveway area

Our land supports bees and pollinators. Thank you for helping protect them!
A Few Simple Rules for everyone's safety:
