Compost
You can use our craft, living, compost as an inoculant for your land, no matter the size.
Through the use of high-quality compost, you can improve the fertility and resiliency of your soils.
We use only the highest quality, diverse inputs to create our compost. Every pile we create is meticulously analyzed for the presence of the complete soil food web. This ensures your land receives a diverse helping of micro-organisms to regenerate soil.
