Brad McCLeaf, McLeaf's Orchard, Adams County, Penn.; offering fruits, berries and grapes; production practices: integrated pest management. “We practice integrated pest management, essentially we spray pesticide and fungicide as little a possible. We set traps that have hormones that repel insects, but we also have traps that catch the insects which we can ID and control. A lot of farmers do a mass spray for every insect. However, we only spray for the insects we have. We donate a lot of our unsold produce to gleaners, part of churches or nonprofit organizations.”
