Earth Friendly Generic Image

Earth Friendly Management is a problem-solving strategy that designates a natural organic approach to the total environment, and prohibits the use of all synthetic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, rodenticides, irradiation, or genetically engineered products. These components focus on preventative practices, education, and enrichment strategies that promote healthy soil, plant life, wildlife, and the natural safeguarding of structures.
