A fund raiser for purchasing land to create residential ag based living with people with DD. We have located land near our farm and met with our Mayor who is supporting our application with the CDBG grant to receive

Soil Amendments
Those interested in purchasing some IMO/Bio-Char we just finished a new batch which has shown to be a great way to flocculate the soil structure. We also have micronized minerals available that act as a high powered grow food.
Used in conjunction with the IMO & Bio Char they have been showing promising results in trials adding to the resiliency and nutrient availability of the soil system supporting plants to express their genetic potential.
