Our Purpose

Our mission is to transform unhealthy soils into living fertile ecosystems, and we believe that in order to bring harmony and balance to the earth’s climate, as well as to all other critical geo-chemical systems, we must start with the soil. Our method is education though demonstration, and our goal is to  inspire joy and passion for the beauty and magic of nature.  When we speak about healthy soil ecosystems this is not a vague concept. We understand that health soil ecosystems must transcend labels of "organic" or "regenerative". Our definiton of a healthy soil ecosystem must mean that the organisms living in the soil are diverse, in balance, and in harmony with the plants that are intended to grow in that soil.  In order to regenerate  soil life we create living soil amendments that include a full specturm of soil organisms that will begin to re-populate the soil and eventually provide a completely healthy and sustainable ecosystem that needs very little input to grow plants. This is how plants grow in nature and how we as humans can work with nature to grow vegetables, fruits, flowers and in fact any plant that we would like to grow.
