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.
