Regenerative Organic & Biodynamic Agriculture
In exchange for short-term (and short-sighted) gains of lower prices and higher-quantity yields, conventional farming methods simply cost us too much.
We pay with our health. We pay with less flavorful and less nutritious yields. We pay by damaging our soil, poisoning our water, and harming our planet.
It’s not worth it.
Beyond that, What We Buy is Changing
53%
Over half of U.S. consumers are buying more organic, natural foods
44%
The U.S. Contributed approximately 44.5% of total global organic retail in 2020
13%
Organic food sales increased in the U.S. by almost 13% in 2020 compared to previous years
But here’s the kicker
Organic farming is better, but still not enough.
Organic foods may be free from chemicals, but they do little for restoring the soil or ecosystem.
We believe the best farming practices are giving back.
(And thankfully, we’re not alone.)
Some of the Many Benefits of ROA
- Increased soil biodiversity
- Healthier & more productive soil
- Soil that’s drought- & flood-resilient
- Cleaner air and water
- Enhanced wildlife habitat
- Improved animal welfare
- Safer and fairer working practices for farmers
- Revitalized local communities
Let one thing be clear
All ROA is Organic, but not vice versa
“Organic” is a prerequisite for truly being considered Regenerative, but the opposite is not true.
Some organic farms can technically still call themselves organic while still using toxic pesticides, but less they are focusing on improving soil health, animal welfare, and working conditions, they aren’t an ROA farm.
And conscientious shoppers are taking note.
