Organic Craft Compost is here! The living foundation of our entire product line. Rich in organic matter and beneficial biology, our compost improves soil structure, increases water-holding capacity, enhances nutrient retention, and supports healthy microbial activity for stronger, more resilient plants.

Crafted from clean pre-consumer feedstocks such as spent tea, fruit pulp, brewery hops/grains, expired produce and hardwood mulch. Each batch has been through a 6+ month controlled thermophilic composting process and is tested both in the greenhouse and in the lab to ensure quality and performance. This compost exceeds NOP organic standards. Full lab analysis posted on our website.
