Magic of Mulch and Composting

Mulch is nature’s magic at work—and one of the most powerful tools in sustainable farming. It locks in moisture, supports a thriving ecosystem of soil-dwelling critters, and even keeps your chickens happily occupied with scratching and foraging. Mulch also suppresses weeds, improves soil structure, and gradually breaks down into rich compost that feeds your plants. In short, it’s a win-win for the land, the animals, and your harvest. When it comes to mulch, more is truly better—you can never have too much of this natural wonder!

In addition to mulch, composting is one of the simplest yet most impactful practices on a farm—it turns waste into gold. By breaking down organic matter like food scraps, plant clippings, and even used mulch, compost creates rich, living soil that feeds crops naturally and sustainably. It supports healthy soil microbes, improves structure and water retention, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. On a regenerative farm, composting isn’t just a chore—it’s a daily act of giving back to the land and closing the loop between growth and renewal.
