Have you ever thought about the soil in our world? If not, now is the time to do so! We need to rethink how we produce food as current practices are depleting the nutrients in soil which means less nutrients in our food that our body needs to stay strong and healthy!

Join our effort to raise awareness and take some time to read a book or view a documentary about soil, best farm practices, composting or the living creatures that rely on our soil for habitat. Attached is a list of suggestions if needed. Link to Documentaries on Soil: 6 Must-Watch Regenerative Documentaries Soil Lovers Globally Should See - Soil Learning Center
