A healthy plant is free from disease, insects and pests by definition. It is not the absence of pathogens or pests that makes a plant healthy, it's because of a healthy immune system that does not attract pests. This requires at minimum, a balance of the following elements: Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Boron, Molybdenum, Cobalt, and Selenium. Plants can survive with

deficiencies. For example, without access to enough Molybdenum to be used as an enzyme cofactor to convert nitrates into amino acids, they will attract insects that feed It is not the absence of pathogens or pests that makes a plant healthy, it's because of a healthy immune system that does not attract pests. on the Nitrates in the plant's sap. If they do not have access to enough Calcium and Boron at the right time, a tomato or pepper fruit skin will be weak, leaving it vulnerable to pathogens that cause blossom end rot. At Well Rooted Farms, we test our plants to monitor the elements that they have access to from the soil. We then feed them what they need

to correct any deficiencies. It is time for our society to wake up to the health crisis that our lifestyle and diet is creating. The rate of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes continues to rise. Our life expectancy in the United States has turned a corner and has started to decline. One very important part of this equation is the change in America’s diet. High caloric food low in vegetable content is very abundant and relatively inexpensive. Such foods are very appealing to our olfactory and taste senses, however our bodies need the minerals and phytochemicals from plants to be truly healthy.

We strive to help people to access these minerals and powerful compounds by growing healthy nutrient dense food that has exceptional flavor.
