Our Mission

Restore soil health by regenerating the soil’s microbiome.

Services

Soil is one of the basic foundations of a healthy life, and we strive to understand how to nurture the living community in soil.

We are muck farmers growing 20 varieties of organic garlic in Cookstown, ON. Our local soil tests were basic with NPK results and the offer to upsell synthetic inputs as soil improvements. We then reached out to Jo at RootShoot Soils a few years back to improve our soil health and garlic yield. Jo is a wealth of knowledge and after each soil test we discuss the numbers, good vs bad in the soil food web. What are the next steps, our organic inputs and cover crop mix to change the numbers in our favour for more beneficial organisms. We are well on our way to having a sustainable farming practice. We don’t farm alone, we have a team of experts and Jo at RootShoot Soils is one of them. Thank you Jo.
Our advice to other farmers, don’t farm alone!

Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to! Jo was a great help to us by sharing tips and advice as we were struggling with the compost process, trying to create a good product on our farm. She was able to go through our records and decipher where we could improve in the future. With her help, we were successful in achieving our composting goals this year!
