Harvest of the day

Healthy soil begins with healthy soil biology. This is true for soil remediation of toxic soil conditions, transitioning a property to real organic or just trying to turn your food garden into the healthiest, safest edible garden that you can grow.

 

Growing and building healthy soil is the cornerstone of every beautiful garden, farm and landscape, and the real organic protocols that we share in our garden consultations and real organic gardening classes begin in the soil and end with healthy and vital gardens, farms and landscapes.

Home Garden Consultations

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 Consultations

If you own a suburban farm or a small farm up to 10 acres, then our Real Organic Protocols will work beautifully for you. Suburban Farming should be at the apex of the organic movement, yet this is not often the case. Too often suburban farmers 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. This is where the principles and protocols of Real Organics comes to the rescue. ​You will grow the most prolific, healthiest and tastiest grains, fruits and vegetables and raise the happiest and most productive animals on your suburban farm after your Consultation. Our Suburban Farm 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 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.
