Heal your body and the planet by supporting local, sustainable, organic agriculture.
My story.
Hello, my name is Braeden, and I am the owner of Elevated Earth, LLC. The way I see it, this company is a natural extention of my love and passion for public health, sustainability, composting and food.
I was “pre-med” in college while studying Environmental Science at Ithaca College I decided I was going to become an organic farmer and address public because it is a way to address public and environmental heath. My introduction to composting on organic farms lead into the organics recycling industry and I became the organic waste recycling expert I am today.
Now, my continued passion for health and food has lead me into the Microgreen business. I truly believe that everyone can benefit from incorporating Microgreens into their diets.
Public Health and Sustainability.
Public and environmental health are intrinsically linked to our agriculture and food systems, and to what we put in our bodies. How we farm and what we eat has a tremendous impact on our health and the environment.
Through local, organic, vertical farming, Elevated Earth produces a highly nutritious product with a fraction of the environmental impact.
Modern conventional agricultural has been a driving force in the climate crisis. Conventional agriculture requires massive amounts land, fossil fuel energy for the production of synthetic fertilizers, and the transportation of goods thousands of miles that results in massive GHG emissions. Conventional agriculture also relies heavily on the use of toxic pesticides, herbicides that poisons our air, soil, water and us.
We only use organic, non-GMO seeds. We grow in an organic, compost-based potting mix. We never use any pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. We measure our farm in cubic feet, instead of acres. We use highly efficient and low energy LED lights. We use XXX amount less water to product the same amount of nutrition.
