Agromin, the largest recycler of organic waste in California and a producer of eco-friendly soil products, has announced the launch of its “Healthy Soil Heroes” ambassador program. This initiative partners with five foundational members from a variety of agricultural and community-centric enterprises, such as a native plant nursery, a flower farm, and a community garden. Bill Camarillo, CEO of Agromin, stated, “Healthy Soil Heroes was established to acknowledge businesses and nonprofits that champion sustainable practices in gardening, farming, and landscaping. These organizations not only produce healthy food and enhance landscapes but also contribute positively to our planet.” Among the founding members is the Meiners Oaks Community Garden, inaugurated just outside Ojai. This 7,500-square-foot facility features 38 raised garden beds and offers community members the opportunity to cultivate their own gardens. Interested parties can rent space, with fees covering soil, tools, and water. The community is invited to the grand opening on October 20, or can find more information online. MiniNature Reserve, established in 2021 in Oxnard by Diego Magaña, focuses on creating pockets of nature in urban settings. It began as a small backyard nursery and has expanded to a 1,500-square-foot public facility, promoting green spaces and supporting local wildlife. ADVERTISEMENT Ojai’s Grow With Mo specializes in edible gardens and sustainable landscape designs. Morgan Visalli, the founder, assists clients with establishing vegetable gardens and fruit trees, utilizing organic practices to foster eco-friendly gardening. Ventura County Farm-2-School collaborates with local schools to educate over 30,000 students annually about nutrition and agriculture through school gardens. It also facilitates the Ventura County School Food Hub, which sources and delivers local produce to enhance school meals. Lastly, Killdeer Farms in West Sacramento, operated by Christine and Scott Killdeer, grows flowers and lavender, offering them through subscriptions, bulk purchases, and hands-on workshops. Membership in “Healthy Soil Heroes” provides access to free Agromin compost, mulch, and other soil amendments. Additionally, members receive a discount code to share with customers and collaborators. Members also use their platforms to share their experiences with Agromin products. While membership applications for 2024 are closed, they will reopen in 2025 for agricultural-related enterprises.
