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.
