Regenerative Farming Principles & Nutrition Farming Practices.

We grow food in a way that optimizes the health of our soils, crops and communities. We focus on building soil health in a way that focuses first on increasing the nutrient levels of our crops. Plants high in nutritional levels are able to produce more root exudates and shift the carbohydrate profile they use to feed soil biology, which in turn builds soil health and nutrient cycling.

We do this by using regenerative farming principles to prep the land and through simple in-field and lab monitoring. Through an adaptive management process we continuously monitor improvements and adapt our nutrient applications and soil microbial profile to ensure crops are full synthesizing simple sugar, lipids, and proteins.

As conscious consumers who care bout our health, we realize not all food is equal. To a large extent, our health is a result of the quality of the food we consume. Many of us buy or grow food organically because we donʻt want to ingest harsh chemicals and we care about the environment. For optimal health, energy and proper functioning at the cellular and molecular level, our bodies need the correct amounts of broad-spectrum minerals. The best source for these minerals is through our food. When these minerals are missing, our food doesnʻt contain the co-enzymes needed to synthesize simple amino acids into more complex proteins. The result, is a plant that contains more reduced sugars rather than complete peptides and proteins. Plants that are limited to this level of nutrition are more susceptible to insects and disease. Many insects with simple digestive tracts donʻt have the enzymes needed to feed on plants that contain complex proteins. Plants grown to this level of nutrition are also able to produce secondary metabolites, which provide both SAR and ISR defense mechanisms against many pests and diseases.

Our aim is to supply and monitor the correct ratios and forms of minerals for our crops so that they increase their ability to photosynthesize and to produce proteins and secondary metabolites. At the end of each day, we want our plants to not have reduced sugars present.

Mahalo for taking the time to learn about our growing principles. It is important that we share our approach of how we grow so that the value and quality of our food is understood by all who enjoy it.
