The NAVCS‘s mission is to certify all North American producers and farmers throughout the manufacturing and sale of fruits, greens, herbs, flowers, seeds, fiber crops, and compost who search veganic certification, regardless of dimension or earnings stage. Their ultimate purpose is to complete animal agriculture as quickly as and for all and completely transition to a great, 100% plant-based meals system.

Veganics is a gardening or farming philosophy that merely is every vegan and pure. 

Many vegans see chemical fertilizer because the reply and plenty of pure gardeners see animal-based fertilizers as best. Veganic gardening marries the right of every. Congrats you two!! 💒

Veganic moreover frames the gardener or farmer as half of a much bigger ecosystem. As such, veganic eschews the utilization of pesticides and herbicides and fungicides – pure or chemical. Veganics rejects the utilization of all chemical compounds and animal merchandise. In case your yard is someplace on the spectrum, that’s okay! We’re all on our private paths and on a regular basis evolving. 

Nevertheless merely know to ensure that you a licensed 100% animal-free, pure yard fertilizer, Cabbage Hill has the credentials. ✅✅✅

Due to Jimmy Videle and Be taught Veganic for all the help! I look forward to all we’ll accomplish collectively. 

And there’s a LOT of labor to do!

I nonetheless register the shock on people’s face after I inform them pure greens are all grown in animals. Not poo or manure as they may assume, nonetheless rendered animal carcasses. Pure has been diluted to the place it’s downright dangerous.

All of the issues from banned antibiotics to endlessly chemical compounds have been current in pure yard merchandise. With Giant Ag forcing its “waste” on pure farming and gardening, there’s truly been no place for conscious customers to point out for safe, ethical pure fertilizer.

Until now!

Effectively launching this agency is not only a push to get Cabbage Hill fertilizers on the shelf. It’s revealing a actuality to most of the people. Its creating alliances all through the vegan and gardening and native climate concern spectrums. That takes the time it takes. It’s nice to blaze a path, nonetheless it’s time-consuming and unpredictable.

Being first on this home permits me to spice up shopper confidence in our mannequin and naturally, purchase an enormous part of the long term market…nonetheless that’s nothing to sleep on. All that to say, the time for funding is now. Like, correct stinking now. An funding of 250K would allow me to immediately start engaged on pure licensing and certification so we’re capable of legally start selling, along with scaling the current enterprise model.

I’ve found some pure fertilizer producers/mixers who take care of personal label accounts. I consider that can most likely be a logical first step for scaling up. I need to evaluation these contacts to make sure our processes and inputs could also be licensed pure, CDFA-compliant, along with being able to current vegan certifications. That’s what Cabbage Hill can accomplish alongside together with your funding.
