Trade Show Schedule 2010

OUR MISSION

The mission of Back To Your Roots is to provide consumers with access to environmentally friendly products that address soil problems and facilitate sustainable farming practices. With a focus on proper soil analysis and evaluation, our goal is to assist producers to identify the underlying causes of the soil problems and develop an understanding of how to correct these problems.

OUR PURPOSE

The majority of soil on the Prairies is underproductive and inhospitable for healthy plant growth. For decades now, producers have been encouraged to compensate for these toxic conditions by artificially introducing chemicals and nutrients which allow the plants to grow, but do nothing to correct the soil on a long term basis.

In the end, we all suffer because the soil, not the chemicals, should be the environment not just for food plant growth, but for natural nutrient transfer to the food we eat. Back to your Roots began in 2006 as a means of naturally healing the soil and correcting the nutrient imbalance.

We hope that you find our website informative and encouraging; through proper soil management and stewardship, we can feel secure that future generations will be able to be nourished the way that nature intended.
