Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC™) is a revolutionary new label for food, fiber, and botanical ingredients and products. ROC™ is based on three pillars that require farmers to use practices that ensure healthy soil, pasture-based animal welfare, and fairness for farmers and workers. Regenerative Organic Certified® is overseen by the 501(c)3 nonprofit Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA), a group of experts in farming, ranching, soil health, animal welfare, and farmer and worker fairness. Led by Rodale Institute and spearheaded by Dr. Bronner’s and Patagonia, other founding members of the Alliance include Compassion in World Farming, Fair World Project, White Oak Pastures, and the Textile Exchange. The ROA has been established to continuously review and update the certification guidelines. At the Regenerative Organic Alliance, we envision a world free of poisonous chemicals, factory farming, exploitation, soil degradation, habitat destruction, pollution, short-term thinking, corporate bullies, greenwashing, and fake food. Instead, we imagine a world in which farmers, brands, policymakers, educators, researchers, and individuals come together to create a healthy food system that respects land and animals, empowers people, and restores communities and ecosystems through regenerative organic farming. Farm like the world depends on it.™

September is Organic Month, and we are excited to celebrate the many benefits that come from farming organically, in turn, building a strong regenerative foundation! One of the key components of organic agriculture is the elimination of synthetic chemical killers- which are harmful to the entire farm ecosystem, from the workers to the microbes moving beneath the soil surface. Under the USDA National Organic Program standards, the elimination of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and artificial fertilizers, promotes on-farm biodiversity and supports life under the soil- building a strong foundation for a regenerative operation. Join us in celebrating Organic Month, all September long! #OrganicMonth #RegenerativeAgrilcture #RegenerativeOrganicCertified #FarmLikeTheWorldDependsOnIt

Did you know soil has its own microbiome? Just like our gut microbiome supports our health, soil microbiome supports the health of the plants growing in it. Healthy soil is the foundation for healthy plants, people, and planet. Ensuring soil health is an important piece of our commitment to regenerative agriculture, and the first (and continuous) step in our Regenerative Organic Certification at the Gaia Herbs Farm. Zach West - Farm Operations Manager - talks soil microbiome, and how supporting it helps keep the sparkle in Gaia's Golden Soil. #regenerativeagriculture #roc #farmfridays
