The Audubon certification recognizes farms that protect bird habitats, promote biodiversity, and manage land sustainably. Essentially, it highlights farms that align their practices with nature. As a result, Paradise Valley Ranch’s achievement demonstrates its dedication to both environmental and farming excellence.
