Wild Soil® Farming – Distinct and Superior To Organic® Almonds

Wild Soil® farming uses proprietary cultural methods to improve soil and recreate the taste of ancient farm products.  The extraordinary flavor and aroma of our almonds reflect the care given to our trees.  Healthy trees produce tasty nuts and happy consumers. 

Wild Soil® farming is a form of restored virgin soil.  Virgin soil allows plants to achieve their full potential by supplying mineral nutrients and water.  In addition, virgin soil contains a diversity of microorganisms that trigger disease resistance in the plant by stimulating its immune system (1) and suppress the growth of plant pathogens in the soil (2, 3, 4).  This combination of a vibrant plant and fewer pathogens reduces the need for pesticides.  As a result, our almonds have higher protein and a distinct flavor.

Conventional farming produces big plants, which are maintained with continuing supplies of chemical fertilizer and pesticides.  There are over 1,000 pesticides presently used on California almond farms and in 2014 more than 25 million pounds of pesticides were applied (5).  The list is so long, almost interminable, that the chemicals are typically divided into three classes, going from the most dangerous in Class 1 to the least dangerous, but still toxic and highly regulated, in Class 3 (6).   Modern farming creates sterile soils as many of these chemicals decimate the life in the soil.  The byproduct of these sterile soils is sterile food that is lacking in rich life and naturally occurring probiotics.  Science is now understanding that soil life protects human life as eating foods rich in natural probiotics protects human health through healthy gut/intestinal microflora and protects the environment.  New research suggests sterile foods are contributing to the dramatic rise in human noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and stroke to name just a few (7-21).

Organic farming claims to use fewer chemicals to produce plants with fruits and nuts, but OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute), the organization that determines which input products are allowed for use in organic production under the USDA National Organic Program, still permits organic growers to use 23 Class 1 chemicals for growing almonds (22) (Table 1). Class 1 pesticides are all extremely toxic to humans and must carry the warning “DANGER” on their label.  Many of these are restricted use chemicals.  They can be used only by well-trained, licensed professionals, who must wear special protective gear in some cases (Figure 1).

Wild Soil® farming is an informed version of organic management.  We grow plants that are so vibrantly healthy, we do not need to use any Class 1 pesticides.  In the case of almonds, to protect consumers further, we pasteurize our nuts with steam, not the propylene oxide (PPO) used by many suppliers.  We find that steam protects the natural nut taste and life within the nut.

Our Wild Soil® vibrancy model for growing plants depends on restoring virgin soil.  Virgin soils depend primarily on huge quantities of organic matter, which are sustained by large, healthy roots.  American Indians recognized these facts when they fired fields to maintain rich, productive grassland soils (23).  Conventional methods “farm out” fields by reducing organic matter 25% in as little as 50 years (24).  Wild Soil® almond trees grow in newly virgin soil which was restored in part by supplying proprietary, OMRI-certified compost.  We use our own proprietary methods for monitoring microbial diversity and rejecting any compost or other inputs that do not meet Wild Soil® standards.  After plants are established in the Wild Soil® system, soil organic matter is sustained by the flux of carbon we monitor from the naturally large root systems.

The large amount of organic matter present in virgin and Wild Soil® fields has important benefits.  First, it holds more water for a longer time than soils containing less organic matter.  More water means more soil life, not to mention conserving one of our most precious natural resources.  Thus, the second benefit is a healthier soil food web of microorganisms and small, largely invertebrate animals that cycle mineral nutrients between the soil organic matter and the plants.  This large population of happy microbes suppresses disease organisms, but in addition, it offers probiotic benefits to our nuts.  For example, probiotics promote microbial diversity in our gut, and greater diversity has been proven to promote leanness and inhibit obesity.  A third advantage of restoring a diversity of life to “farmed-out” soil is that the microbial community destroys legacy pesticides and toxins still present in the soil.  Those pesticides and synthetic fertilizers have perpetrated soil genocide by killing more than 99% of soil organisms in conventional farm fields. The chemical reactions (25) and biological diversity (26) required for curing this problem are well established.  Our Wild Soil® method, with its extreme soil diversity, degrades trace pesticides.  We know of no other agriculture soils that contain fewer trace pesticides than ours.

Organic farming methods often supply mineral nutrients from animal manure.  OMRI allows raw manure applications with some restrictions (22). Surprisingly, manure approved for organic production can come from animals fed antibiotics (27), which then get into the soil-plant-food cycle and contribute to the global problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (super bugs) (28).  This is one of the many reasons that we choose not to be associated with the National Organic Program (NOP) organic label.  Additionally, please be aware that the National Organic Program (NOP) is a regulatory program housed within the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service which is responsible for developing national standards for organically-produced agricultural products.  Their “regulations do not address food safety or nutrition” (29).  In contrast, Wild Soil® farming does not use raw manure because it values the soil, the plants and the consumer.  Indeed, we treat all edible products from our plants as probiotics suitable for humans, and we use advanced microbiological methods to maintain our standards. Our almonds undergo proprietary testing, proving their content of naturally occurring probiotics.* New research shows that changing the human diet alters the profile of intestinal microorganisms from one associated with obesity to one characteristic of non-obesity (30, 31).  Thus, healthy diets promote human health, and Wild Soil® almonds can be part of that process.

Our customers’ health, safety, and taste buds are our most important concerns.  Plant and human vibrancy is tied to our soils through the soil-plant-human cycle.  

 

 

* Wild Soils® farming methods were developed after more than a generation of trials and testing by a research group comprised of a consortium of subject matter experts in diverse disciplines including soil science, microbiology, human pathology and immunology.  Several of these experts are among the top in the world in their field.  These researchers obtained their PhDs/studies/residencies at the following institutions: Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, and St. Louis University.  Additionally, we have operated under ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles since 2016. ESG is looked at in assessing the impact of the sustainability and ethical practices of a company.
