Our soil is our strength.
Our family depends upon our soil
because it is the foundation of everything we do.
And we're just maintaining its ability to continue.
It's very important for us as farmers
to create that sustainability and
create something that will last for generations to come.
We were one of the first users of biosolids
in Washington state, and we started using it because we wanted
a nutrient buffet for the microbes that we're feeding the plants.
And it sounded kind of funky to other farmers
and we just kept going with it
because we saw the worms,
we saw the microbes,
we saw things starting to happen
because we were treating the soil right.
And I think there's a huge measure
of pride that comes from
doing things the right way.
It is a waste that has every right to be a resource,
and it needs to be used,
and it needs to be applied to the soil
because that's where it started.
