Practices
Organic (not certified), no-till. Extensive use of mulch, compost, microbes, cover crops to build organic soil matter and nutrients. Cover crops provide diversity for predatory insects and balance of fungal and microbe species as primary pest and disease control (as of first harvest--we'll see how that goes). Planning to include sheep and chicken grazing for weed control and fertilization.
