Pearl Valley Farms embodies a path driven by innovation and sustainability, reshaping the landscape of egg processing and organic fertilizer production. Its visionary approach revitalizes conventional practices, illustrating how forward-thinking strategies can catalyze positive change throughout the agricultural industry.
Catering to major retailers across the U.S., Pearl Valley Farms operates a vertically integrated system that encompasses every stage, from egg laying and washing to packing and delivery. Embracing a closed-loop model, it sources corn, soy bean meal and other ingredients to sustain its birds while repurposing their manure into organic fertilizers, enriching the soil and promoting robust plant growth. Through rigorous composting procedures and stringent quality controls, it maintains the purity and integrity of its products, setting itself apart in the market.
“Our commitment to sustainability ensures that our products contribute to building healthy soils and supporting plant growth, ultimately feeding families across America,” says Ben Thompson, president.
It offers diverse products tailored to address various organic fertilizer needs. Pearl Valley Farms’ flagship brand, Healthy Grow Professional, delivers innovative fertilizers designed for golf courses, sports arenas and landscaping projects, while ‘fun brands’ like Coop Poop®, chick n poo and Chickity Doo Doo® highlight premium composted organic fertilizers sourced from egg-laying hens. Its product line extends to Healthy Grow Retail, serving independent retailers third-party OEM companies and co-pack arrangements for consumer organic fertilizer markets.
Pearl Valley Farms provides a range of packaging options, from small bags to large totes and offers bulk shipments to organic farmers cultivating crops such as corn, soybeans and others.
Eco-Conscious First Philosophy
Pearl Valley Farms embodies innovation in egg production and fertilizer operations. Its state-of-the-art egg grading machine, driven by artificial intelligence, handles washing, weighing and packaging while inspecting for defects and contaminants like hairline cracks, yolk, and chicken litter. UV disinfection ensures thorough bacteria elimination before eggs are sorted by size and packaged in eco-friendly cartons made from recycled plastic bottles, significantly reducing the company's carbon footprint.
Integrating AI and automated case packers has optimized the packing process, addressing labor shortages in the U.S. and enhancing operational efficiency.
In fertilizer production, the company has refined its methodology over three decades, establishing a distinct standard for its aerobically composted chicken manure (ACCM) in the organic fertilizer market. Emphasizing the importance of its approach with the slogan ‘how it's made matters,’ the process involves a proprietary blend combined with carbon, composted in pits for 45 to 50 days. Additional carbon sources are introduced as the compost is turned in the pits, breaking down all organic materials to create an effective soil enhancer. When combined with other organic proteins, the resulting product becomes a highly efficient organic fertilizer coveted by golf courses, sports arenas and organic farmers.
The company's commitment to organic farming practices stems from recognizing the critical role of nurturing soil health for sustainable plant growth. Neglecting soil enrichment undermines eco-conscious farming practices and poses risks to those exposed to treated areas, including animals and pets. Non-organic farming methods risk contaminating food sources with chemicals, potentially endangering human health.
"Our product is not only friendly to the earth, but to the people applying it, as well as to the pets or animals walking on it or feeding from it," says Thompson.
Excellence in Every Blend
In its relentless pursuit of excellence, Pearl Valley Farms emphasizes quality across every aspect of fertilizer production. Its process begins with the meticulous aerobic composting of chicken manure, laying the foundation for precisely tailored blends crafted for specific plant types, such as perennials, annuals, roses, tomatoes and vegetables. It also offers an all-purpose fertilizer, streamlining the process for customers unless specific needs, such as cultivating exceptionally large tomatoes, arise.
Every stage of the process is executed carefully, starting with a comprehensive analysis of ingredients to ensure the optimal balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Premiumquality ingredients like steamed bone meal and feather meal are incorporated into the blend to maintain consistency and maximize effectiveness. Rigorous testing procedures are in place to guarantee that each batch meets exacting standards. This commitment to quality is reinforced by a state-of-the-art computer system that tracks ingredients and production details. Each product is labeled with a lot number, serving as a testament to Pearl Valley Farms' commitment to delivering dependable and traceable products.
Customers have voiced their satisfaction with the products, with one sharing their experience. “I've found their product to be excellent, particularly its quality as an organic calcium source. It's remarkable how it stimulates soil biology and formation while enhancing nutrient uptake. Plus, it provides calcium alongside other nutrients, leading to comprehensive benefits. Overall, I've had great success using it."
Pearl Valley Farms' success is driven by a dedicated team that continuously refines formulas to elevate product quality. They are always ready to meet customers' custom requests requiring more than standard ingredients in their fertilizers. They explore innovative approaches to product development, integrating beneficial fungi, microorganisms or additional trace minerals based on soil sample analysis and specific plant needs.
Having consistently delivered on time, Pearl Valley Farms has experienced significant growth across all sectors of the fertilizer industry. Following a recent expansion that quadrupled its fertilizer production capacity, Pearl Valley Farms is well-equipped to meet the surging demand for organic fertilizers. Actively engaging in various fertilizer and agricultural shows allows it to network with industry leaders and uncover new growth opportunities.
Pearl Valley Farms is a prime example of how innovation and sustainability can transform age-old industries. Through its dedication to excellence, constant refinement and relentless focus on customer satisfaction, it emerges as a trailblazer in modern sustainable farming practices.
