New York Soil Health (NYSH) proudly acknowledges Norwich Meadows Farm’s outstanding commitment to soil health and sustainable farming practices. The farm has been recognized as a Soil Health Champion for its commitment to soil health monitoring and improvement.
Norwich Meadows Farm builds soil health and carbon levels through their commitment to cover crops, reducing tillage where possible, crop rotation, and compost application.
NYSH commends Norwich Meadows Farm for aligning with Cornell University’s Soil Health Program benchmarks. Farms achieving soil health levels greater than the 75th percentile are recognized, with the 90th percentile representing aspirational goals within specific production environments.
Benchmarks, based on the 75th and 90th percentiles, offer realistic targets for farmers. These benchmarks are accessible through an open-access publication and here.
