Beyond Organic: Striving to Regenerate and Rewild the Land We Farm

The native Big Bluestem grass can be found growing throughout the country, its forked crown forming the native silhouettes of the land. Our production fields are nested by wildlife corridors, giving homes to beneficial species while naturally building the soil. This ecological buffer zone is actively working to sequester carbon and offset the impacts of agricultural production.

An Evergrowing Project

The work is never done and this ecosystem is still young. We actively make decisions to help the land thrive and grow. Each year we do many small things like leave the echinacea seed heads for the goldfinches throughout winter.

Building an Ecosystem from the Ground Up

We started working on our 'Wildlife Corridor' project in 2009. With the help of the Bucks County Soils & Conservation District and the NRCS, we have sculpted swales, set aside riparian buffer zones, dug ephemeral pools, have planted over 1000 native trees, woody shrubs and have established a 1-acre warm season grass meadow. The steps taken to repair the soil and create this ecosystem have been pretty amazing and our community has been active participants in this project with us.

This Land

The mission of Bluestem Botanicals is to connect
people to plants for food, for medicine and for a more resilient collective future for all beings.

We value ecology over economy and people over profit.

We envision a world where people live in support of and in balance with the natural systems we depend so deeply on.
