Marolda Farms
Back To Farms >Marolda Farms is owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Richard and Sherry Marolda. They have been partners in business and life since they married in 1980. Their son, Richard Jr., carries on their standards of quality and excellence. The Maroldas strive to provide their customers with high-quality produce at a fair price. Everything they sell, from their line of conventionally grown products to their newer line of organics, is grown with care and attention.
To control pests and combat disease in a sustainable way, Marolda Farms rotates crops, seeds cover crops, and applies Integrated Pest Management techniques to their growing process. Multiple seedings per season are also done in an attempt to prevent weed seed from germinating and spreading. Conventional liquid and dry fertilizers are used during the regular growing season to promote vigorous and healthy plant growth. In the off season manure is applied to the land to improve soil structure, increase organic matter, and replenish nutrients. IPM techniques such as basket and blade cultivating, hoeing, and manually pulling grass are also implemented to control weeds. For the safety and benefits of its customers, Marolda uses no surface water, water drafted from ponds, ditches, streams, etc. All of the irrigation and wash - clean, safe, and potable - is drawn from underground wells.
