Worden Farm is certified organic by Quality Certification Services, an independent, USDA-authorized certification agency. The farm is managed with a variety of sustainable techniques for conserving and enhancing natural and human ecosystems.
Worden Farm has worked with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) on micro-irrigation and other water conservation projects for improving environmental quality.
The farm has several renewable energy projects, including the conversion of an Allis Chalmers "G" cultivating tractor from a gasoline engine to an electric motor.
Worden Farm is located in an area of cattle ranches, orange groves, and pinelands. It neighbors the 79,000-acre Babcock/Webb wildlife management area, and is 1 mile from Shell Creek, a tributary of the Peace River. The abundant sunshine, mild climate, and pure environment contribute to a bountiful, healthful harvest.
