Why Regenerative Organic Certified®?
Back to the Roots is introducing a first-of-its-kind offering for home gardeners: the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) seeds, developed in partnership with Gaia Herbs®. Grown on Gaia Herbs®’ regenerative organic farm in North Carolina, these seeds are thoughtfully grown and tested for quality — connecting home gardeners directly to the farms and soil behind what they grow. Building on Back to the Roots’ leadership in organic gardening, the ROC seed collection brings the highest regenerative standards to home gardens for the first time. The initial lineup features medicinal and pollinator-friendly herbs like Echinacea, Yarrow, Dandelion, and Nettle, designed to pair seamlessly with Back to the Roots’ peat-free soils and pots for a more regenerative way to grow at home.
What Regenerative Organic Certified® Means
Regenerative Organic Certified® goes beyond organic by supporting the health of the entire system — from soil to people. Certification is built on three core pillars:
• Soil Health: Practices like cover cropping, composting, crop rotation, and minimal tillage that rebuild soil life and store carbon
• Ecosystems & Animals: Farming methods that work with nature to support biodiversity and resilient ecosystems
• Social Fairness: Safe working conditions, fair treatment, and progress toward living wages for farmworkers
By choosing ROC seeds, home gardeners support farming practices that rebuild soil, strengthen communities, and help restore the planet.

- Vegetative Cover — Keeping soil covered with plants or mulch year-round helps protect it, return nutrients, and store carbon in the ground.
- Crop Rotation — Rotating crops means planting different crops over time, which helps keep soil healthy and reduces pests naturally.
- No Synthetic Fertilizers or Pesticides — Avoiding synthetic fertilizers and pesticides helps protect soil ecosystems and supports natural plant health.
- Minimize Soil Disturbance — Disturbing the soil less (e.g., tillage equipment), protects beneficial microbes, improves water retention, and prevents erosion.
- Compost — Adding compost feeds the soil with organic matter and microbes, improving structure, moisture retention, and soil life.
- Rotational Grazing — Moving grass-fed, grass-finished animals between pastures gives the land time to rest while manure naturally returns nutrients to the soil.
