How We Help You
We know you face increasing challenges to your crops due to drought, flood, and degraded soil leading to declining margins.
The Oakville Bluegrass Cooperative collaboratively promotes solutions to these challenges. We uncover best practices in sustainable agriculture tailored to the needs of specialty crop growers. As a cooperative, we share these learnings so all our members can benefit from adopting practices that will ensure the long-term health of their farms.
We secure the best pricing for the Oakville bluegrass cover crop, a perennial grass developed by Radix Evergreen. Oakville bluegrass is dormant in the summer, so it doesn’t compete for water and nutrients. It is low profile, so it doesn’t interfere with harvest operations.
Once established, Oakville bluegrass eliminates passes through the orchard or vineyard for mowing, tilling, and spraying. Growers can recover their planting costs in 1-2 seasons, and produce a 10-50X return over the life of the orchard or vineyard.
We also assist our members in establishing other sustainable farming practices that lead to healthy soil, water conservation, and profitable farms.
