Soil Awakening Cover Crop

We go crazy for cover crop — sowing seeds as a joyous celebration of winter rain. With the help of cover crops, the ground beneath our feet can literally pull carbon from the air, and at the same time, increase the soil’s organic matter, preventing erosion and nutrient runoff. Wow. What’s more: it’s easy on the eyes. We recommend tossing Earth-side right before a big rain. If it’s between a full moon and a new moon, even better. Throw a couple handfuls out and keep soil moist until they sprout then water frequently depending on weather and soil moisture.

All proceeds from our seeds go directly to The Ron Finley Project, supporting community gardens and organic produce in food deserts.

We are proud to exclusively support farms using sustainable, organic methods grounded in the principles of regenerative farming - practices that can help reverse climate change and improve soil health, among a host of other benefits.

We plant one tree for every product we sell, in partnership with 1% For The Planet.

We’ve been developing this special cover crop for years to help restore the soil of our medicine garden which grows on a steep, erosive hill side. It produces organic matter, suppresses weeds, supports pollinators, and fixes nitrogen while providing food and medicine. It’s a symbol of the healing process we can be a part of by nurturing our soil and engaging with the cycle of plants from seed to plant, plant to habitat and habitat to medicine.
