We’re thrilled to share how we’re taking meaningful steps toward deeply understanding and improving the soil at our Mount St. Helens farm. Soil is more than just what’s beneath our feet—it’s a powerful ally. Healthy, carbon-rich soils are the foundation of sustainable agriculture, thriving ecosystems, and a brighter future for generations to come.
Embracing the Importance of Soil Health
On this #WorldSoilDay, we’re excited to highlight our ongoing commitment to soil health and sustainability. We’ve partnered with the forward-thinking team at EarthOptics, who specialize in measuring, reporting, and verifying soil carbon levels with trusted accuracy. By gaining deeper insights into our soil’s current carbon content and overall vitality, we’re setting the stage for long-term improvements and informed decision-making.
Why Does Soil Health Matter?
Healthier Soil & Ecosystems:
Carbon-rich soils support diverse microorganisms, improve soil structure, enhance nutrient cycling, and increase water retention. All of these factors are crucial for resilience, productivity, and the overall well-being of our farmland and the surrounding environment.
Economic & Market Opportunities:
Reliable soil data can help growers and ranchers qualify for premium markets, participate in carbon credit initiatives, and provide low-carbon feedstocks. This leads to the growth of climate-smart commodities and products, encouraging sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.
A Long-Term Commitment
This initial measurement is just the beginning. We’ll continue monitoring our soil health over the coming years, using these insights to guide our farming practices. By doing so, we aim to cultivate healthier land, nurture diverse ecosystems, and make positive contributions to our planet’s well-being.
