Revive Your Roots with Biochar that Brings Soil to Life.

What is Biochar?

Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material created by burning forestry byproducts like branches and chips in a low-oxygen environment. This ancient technique improves soil health, locks away carbon, and lasts for centuries.

History of Biochar

Ancient Roots, Modern Uses

Biochar was first used in the Amazon to create rich, living soils. Today, we use that same wisdom—turning Utah’s forest byproducts into long-lasting, soil-building carbon.

How Biochar is Made

How it’s Made

We burn our forests’ wildfire mitigation slash in a low-oxygen kiln, transforming it into porous charcoal. This stable carbon stores nutrients, supports microbes, and lasts for hundreds of years.

Charge your biochar with compost or fertilizer

Charge Before Use

Uncharged biochar can steal nutrients from your soil. Charge it first by mixing with compost or fertilizer and letting it sit 2–4 weeks. Then it’s ready to feed your soil—not take from it.
