Why Should You Attend?
Want to increase the health and productivity of your soil and crops beyond what you even thought possible?
If so, the Healthy Soil Summit is for you.
The Healthy Soil Summit includes relevant, science-based sessions from top soil health innovators, scientists, and agronomists, roundtable discussions, and networking with others that prioritize soil health.
In addition, you have the opportunity to choose to add-on a farm tour that includes traveling to both Paicines Ranch & Pinnacle Organically Grown Produce, where you can learn about the practices and farming techniques that have led to the beautiful, 6% organic matter-packed soil you see below.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about all of the on-farm trials, equipment, and years of challenges and breakthroughs that contribute to launching you further along your soil health journey.

How it Started
The Healthy Soil Summit, founded in 2019, is an essential learning and networking experience for farmers and ranchers, from conventional to organic. Attendees just starting their soil health program or advanced in their programs will leave with a better understanding of the key principles and techniques being used by the world’s top soil health managers. Our workshops and farm tours, led by real-world farmers and ranchers, will help increase your operation’s resilience to weather and climate, while decreasing the need for fertilizers and inputs, and creating a more desirable product to sell to today’s consumer.
