COMPOST & FERTILIZER

In 1989, we began composting as an alternative to handling and storing raw hen manure. Since then, we have used the manure from our laying hens as a highly effective, all-natural soil amendment on our land.

Leveraging our experience as seasoned organic crop farmers we have crafted and are proud to offer high-quality, composted, dehydrated and pelletized fertilizers tailored to diverse soil types and crop needs.

With our fertilizers, farmers can rely on enhanced efficiency, improved yields and the confidence to focus on farming while we take care of their soil's nutritional needs.

THE PROCESS

We take an innovate approach to fertilizer production including composting the manure before pelletizing it. Composting the manure helps duplicate what would naturally occur with soil microbes over time. This unique process ensures that the nutrients become readily available to the soil, providing an immediate impact on crop health and yields.

Our compost is then heat treated to NOP standards and our crumbled pellets go through an additional heat treatment process, effectively killing weed seeds and bacteria, ensuring the product is safe for use in growing the finest food for you, your family and your customers.

Our approach not only ensures a safe product but also yields a fertilizer which flows easily through planters, providing a uniform distribution of nutrients across your growing crops.
