Introducing the first Regenerative Organic Spring Mix!
Healthier greens start with healthier soil.
At Earthbound Farm, some regenerative growing practices have always been part of our organic farming approach. We began our expansion of regenerative organic farming practices 4 years ago at one of our ranches in California with practices that help restore soil health and care for the land over time. Through a series of crop management, tillage reduction, and habitat development, we began our journey toward Regenerative Organic Certification and today, we’re proud to have achieved it at the Bronze level.
The Evolution of Regenerative Farming
Organic Farming
Organic farming is a commitment to cleaner, more responsible growing. By avoiding toxic synthetic chemicals and GMOs, and relying on practices like crop rotation, intercropping, and biologicals (naturally-derived tools such as microbes that support healthy soil and plant growth), organic farming works in harmony with nature. Backed by USDA certification, it’s a trusted approach that helps care for the land while growing food and people can feel good about bringing to the table.
Regenerative Organic Farming
Regenerative organic farming builds on the best practices of organic farming and prioritizes soil health as a way to help fight climate change. Regenerative Organic Certified® starts with USDA Certified Organic standards and adds rigorous third-party certification by using practices like consistent cover cropping, reduced tillage, and beneficial insectary plantings. The result is farming that doesn’t just sustain the earth but continuously improves it, restoring balance across the entire ecosystem, supporting biodiversity, and leaving the land better than we found it.
First Regenerative Organic Certified® Spring Mix
As the original organic salad farmer, we’re proud to bring the first Regenerative Organic (ROC) Spring Mix to your table! These greens are grown on our regenerative organic ranch in California using practices that help restore soil health and improve the land over time. We think that’s something well worth the extra effort.

The Benefits of Regenerative Organic
Climate Resiliency
Regenerative organic farming helps create healthier, microbe-rich soils. Practices like cover cropping and reduced tillage help build soil organic matter, improve water retention, and strengthen the land’s natural resilience to challenges like drought and flooding. Cover crops not only help keep valuable topsoil in place and reduce erosion, they also help draw down carbon dioxide. Plants naturally capture carbon from the atmosphere and transfer it through their roots into the soil, where it helps feed beneficial microbes and contribute to healthier soil over time.
Restored Topsoil
Healthy topsoil is essential to our food system, yet much of the world’s topsoil is disappearing at an alarming rate. Regenerative organic farming helps restore topsoil by supporting beneficial microbes that convert organic matter into nutrient-rich soil. Deep-rooted cover crops help hold topsoil in place, reduce erosion, and protect the long-term health of the land.
Nutrient Density
Plants get their nutrients from the soil. Research suggests the food we eat today contains lower levels of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin, and vitamin C than food produced just a half century ago. Evidence also suggests food grown regeneratively in rich, organic soil contains more nutrients. The connection is simple: healthier soil grows healthier plants, and healthier plants are more nutritious.

Enhancing Biodiversity
Increasing the variety of plants and beneficial organisms to strengthen ecosystem health and natural resilience.
Cover Cropping
Planting crops between growing seasons to protect soil from erosion, increase organic matter, and naturally return nutrients back into the ground.
Conservation Tillage
Minimizing soil disturbance to protect soil structure, reduce erosion, and support beneficial soil microbes.
Intercropping
Growing different crops alongside one another to support biodiversity, soil health, and a more resilient ecosystem.
Rotating Crops
Planting different crops in the same field from season to season to naturally replenish and maintain healthy soil.
Promoting Healthy Ecosystems
Using targeted irrigation and soil-building practices to retain moisture, reduce runoff, and make the most of every drop of water.
