Help Us Build Greener, Healthier Soil Ecosystems Everywhere With Wild Dirt
Wild Dirt is the enriched soil amendment that we use on our berry fields and in our ecosystem regeneration projects instead of commercial fertilizers. We blend each bag ourselves to include elemental nutrition, structure, carbon and a microbial community similar to what we find in nature's healthiest local soils. It's great for gardeners, landscapers, farmers, ranchers, and anybody else that is interested moving away from manufactured soil concentrates and into nature-based soil and plant health.

“Healthy soil stores carbon, stores water and naturally feeds terrestrial plant life.”
