Why GRO?

This site is for you: the home gardener, farmer, rancher, landscaper, designer or architect who has questions about organics... What to use, what not to use, how to use, how to really build soil, how to replace the chemicals and synthetics that you might be currently using, how to finally make great compost and much more. Grow Real Organic classes and our one on one consultations will give you those answers.

 

We are Randy and Norma Ritchie, two of the industry leaders in the world of soil.

 

You know that growing and building healthy soil is the cornerstone of every beautiful garden, farm and landscape, and the real organic protocols that we've created begin in the soil and end with healthy and vital gardens, farms and landscapes.

Home Garden Consultations

How often have you wished that you could plug into the experience and knowledge of practicing organic and biological farmers, two CHEM-free, REAL Organic gardeners, an industry leading orchardist, an eco REAL Organic landscaper, a soil specialist or long time organic composters? Well, NOW you can tap into two practitioners of all of these gardening, farming and landscaping criteria with just the click of a button. 

Invite two of the top consultants and professionals in the field of gardening, farming and landscaping onto your project from home with a private, personal and one of a kind half hour or hour long consultation to fix, repair, create, discuss, plan or analyze exactly what you need for your sacred space. 

 

Our Home Garden Consultation topics include: Edible Gardens, Backyard Orchards, Home Composting, Home Vermicomposting, Cottage Gardens and Rose Gardens, and the Overall Home Landscape. The home garden is the centerpiece of health and vitality in the home. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of places to turn to get real information that can transform you, your food, your health, or your garden... until NOW.

 

On Grow Real Organic, the Home Garden Consultation is the foundation of our work and our site. Our goal is to excite, educate and share our combined experience to make your garden flourish without chemicals, salt and synthetic fertilizers, faux organic soils or pesticides with the Real Organic Protocols that we have been creating and implementing for over 25 years.​

Suburban Farm and Ranch Consultations

If you own a suburban farm or a small farm or ranch up to 10 acres, then the real organic protocols will work beautifully for you. Suburban Farming and Ranching should be at the apex of the organic movement, yet this is not often the case. Too often suburban farmers and ranchers are stuck in the quagmire of working their land under the restraints of conventional agriculture or they are derailed by the faux organic methods that are not much better than conventional.

Being “organic” is one thing, but being Real Organic is a whole different universe. To tend your land and animals in a way that nature, biology and ecology reign supreme is what having an organic suburban farm or ranch is really all about. 

This is where the principles and protocols of Real Organics comes to the rescue. We are here to help you grow your crops and raise your animals in an environment that is vital, healthy and safe. This all begins with growing healthy soil, and focuses on what you are feeding your crops and animals. Learning how to feed and build a farm or ranch that uses 100% Real Organic inputs is the key to separating yourself from the rest of the herd.

You will grow the most prolific, healthiest and tastiest fruits and vegetables and raise the happiest and most productive animals on your suburban farms and ranches using Real Organics. You will be happier. Your animals will be flourishing. Your land will be thriving.

 

Our Suburban Farm and Ranch Consultations consist of the following topics: Organic Composting Operation System, Organic Compost Tea Station, Organic Closed Loop Farming, REAL Organic Farming, Transitioning to REAL Organic, and Decreasing Your Fertilizer and Pesticide Budget. 

If you want a suburban farm or ranch that performs and surpasses all of your dreams and expectations, then book your consultation and lets get started making your operation a one in ten thousand, Real Organic, suburban agricultural gem.
