According to soil scientists, there are about six billion microorganisms thriving in each teaspoon of healthy soil…

our soils have been thru some ‘hard times’ as the pressures built from agricultural corporations and agencies, to buy ‘this’ or ‘that’ fertilizer/herbicide/pesticide/fungicide etc., (rarely looking at the method of production, ingredients, country of origin consequences of production, or the effects on microbiology and waterways etc) to produce ‘more’, ‘faster’, bigger’, more ‘uniform’, more predictable, more controlled food systems.

Celebrating our farmers, regenerating our soils to grow our food..

most farmers you talk to these days really want to do the right thing, by their land, their health, their families, their customers, the nutritional value of their produce, their soils and waterways and the environment in general…

of course, they also want to ‘earn a living’ and transfer their energy and financial input in to their farm into a fair and reasonable reward for their efforts and the value of their produce.

these are the families growing our food, what can we do to support them to continue to care for the soils and waterways and natural systems around our farmlands?
