Testimonials
My plants are absolutely incredible this year - thriving like I've never seen in 17 years of growing food on this property. And while part of that is my increased knowledge and skill, I attribute this year specifically to your compost. WOW. I am so so impressed. You have made me a lifelong customer.
Carly McDougal, Bounty from the Boonies
I met Colleen from Rewild January of 2024. She is knowledgable, open to sharing her knowledge and a good teacher. ... She shared a sample of the compost she made last fall and spent over an hour with me looking at a few samples under her microscope. She has a great set up, a powerful microscope and a good quality camera. ... It was helpful to meet her and spend this time together.

... Colleen is a leader in the regenerative compost movement. She has a deep understanding of the science behind healthy soil and biologically rich compost and she has the ability to make it sound easy. The thing I love though is Colleen can tell you what quality compost is and why but she can also show you with her microscope, why your compost or soil is healthy. She is one of the few practicioners I know that can back up her work with proof.
