Regenerating the Future of Farming
At EarthFirst Organicâ„¢, we believe the future of health begins in the soil. Regenerative agriculture is not just a farming method; it is a philosophy rooted in respect for the Earth, the animals, and the people who care for it.
Through partnerships with regenerative organic farms and a commitment to the principles behind the Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) standard, we are helping to restore ecosystems, uplift farming communities, and bring you nutrient-rich products that honor the planet from the ground up.
We’ll only send the good stuff — regenerative tips, early access, and exclusive offers. 🌎
What Is Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic system that rebuilds soil health, increases biodiversity, and strengthens farm ecosystems. Unlike industrial models that deplete the land, regenerative organic agriculture restores vitality, improving the soil’s ability to store carbon, retain water, and support life both above and below ground.
These practices include:
-
Cover cropping and crop rotation to replenish nutrients
-
Minimal tillage to protect soil structure
-
Composting to build natural fertility
-
No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, ever
The result is living soil full of beneficial organisms that nourish plants naturally and create nutrient-dense food for people and animals.
The Three Pillars of Regenerative Organic Agriculture
The Regenerative Organic Certified® standard brings together three essential pillars that define true sustainability.
Soil Health
Healthy soil is the heartbeat of regenerative agriculture. It holds more water during droughts, prevents erosion, and supports life at every level.  At EarthFirst Organic™, we support farmers who use cover cropping, composting, and crop rotation to build resilient soils that nourish crops naturally and capture carbon from the atmosphere.
Animal Welfare
Animals are an integral part of the regenerative system. Ethical livestock management ensures that animals are grass-fed, pasture-raised, and free to express natural behaviors.  By eliminating confinement systems and routine antibiotics, regenerative farms create balance between animal health and land health. Manure becomes a tool for fertility, not pollution, helping to feed the soil that feeds us all.
Farmer Fairness
Regeneration starts with people. The ROC standard ensures living wages, safe working conditions, and fair treatment for all farmworkers.  EarthFirst Organic™ partners with farms that empower agricultural communities through transparency, fair pay, and democratic practices. The well-being of farmers is inseparable from the well-being of the planet.
The Regenerative Organic Certified® Seal
The ROC seal represents the highest level of organic integrity. It builds upon the USDA Organic baseline with additional benchmarks for soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness.
When you see this seal, it means:
-
The farm regenerates rather than depletes
-
Animals are treated ethically and humanely
-
Farmers and workers are respected and fairly paid
Products carrying the ROC label are grown and handled with care for people and planet, ensuring that every purchase contributes to a healthier Earth.
Beyond Certification: Our Commitment
At EarthFirst Organicâ„¢, our dedication to regenerative organic agriculture goes beyond certification. While we proudly source from ROC-certified farms, we also collaborate with regenerative growers who share our values but may still be working toward certification.
We believe progress matters. Every regenerative step, from planting cover crops to improving animal care, contributes to a more sustainable food system. Through sourcing, education, and advocacy, we support farmers who are growing in harmony with nature at every stage of their journey.
Why It Matters
Industrial agriculture has strained our soil, climate, and communities. Regenerative organic farming offers a path forward that:
Rebuilds soil carbon and biodiversity
Reduces dependence on synthetic inputs
Restores balance between people, animals, and land
Creates healthier food and a more resilient planet
