Generation Grow: Soilutions Community Support Program
At Soilutions, we believe healthy soil grows healthy communities—and that the most meaningful impact begins with children.
For decades, we’ve supported schools, nonprofit farms, and community organizations by donating compost, soil, and mulch to projects that make our region greener and more resilient. In 2025 alone, we donated more than 100 cubic yards of material—representing over $10,000 in retail value—to organizations doing incredible work across our community.
As we celebrate 30 years of Soilutions in 2026, we’re proud to formalize and expand this effort with the launch of Generation Grow, our official community support program.
🌿 What Is Generation Grow?
Generation Grow is Soilutions’ commitment to investing in the next generation by supporting community-based projects that nourish, educate, and inspire children.
We prioritize organizations that:
- 🥕 Feed children and families, such as community farms donating produce to shelters or food programs
- 🏫 Create or maintain school, classroom, or youth gardens
- 🌻 Teach children about gardening, composting, soil health, or environmental stewardship
- 🌎 Strengthen our community through hands-on, earth-centered learning and access to healthy food
While we consider a wide range of community requests, preference is given to organizations whose work directly benefits children, whether through education, nourishment, or connection to the land.
🎯 Our 2026 Commitment
For 2026, Soilutions is committing to donate:
- 200 cubic yards of compost, soil, and mulch, more than double our 2025 community contribution
- Distributed thoughtfully across multiple nonprofit and community projects
By formalizing Generation Grow, we aim to ensure transparency, equity, and the greatest possible impact for our donated materials.

❤️ Growing Forward
Generation Grow reflects what Soilutions has always believed:
When we invest in soil, we invest in people—and when we invest in children, we invest in the future.

"The mission of our garden closely aligns with the work done by Soilutions - sustainable use of our resources. Additionally, the concept of permaculture emphasizes leveraging community partnerships, so by working together we are modeling the principles of permaculture to the students." - Michael Ziemniak, Cottonwood Classical School

"Soilutions has been an incredibly valuable and generous partner for our school garden projects, not only through their donations of their incredible products of garden soil, potting soil, and pecan shells, but also in generously delivering these products and in sharing their valuable time to come speak to our entire student body about the soil during our garden building days. We are incredibly thankful for the partnership that Soilutions has provided and continues to offer us, as we expand our garden inside our building and grow our classroom programming.Their products and their hearts are extremely rich!" - Kayde from Health Leadership High School
The Urban Farm Oasis
“The Urban Farm Oasis (UFO) consists of approximately 25 Master Gardeners who raise organic fruits and vegetables for the "Healthy Food Bank" - a division of Roadrunner Food Bank specifically for community members who need help in purchasing healthy foods and who also have a chronic health condition. Our growing season is from March to November, and in that time period we generally donate over a ton of healthy produce.
Last year, Soilutions really helped us out with a very generous donation of lovely soil and much-needed mulch. We would not be nearly as successful without the help of community partners like Soilutions.”
- Nan Burke, UFO Volunteer and Master Gardener
