Introducing U-Grow: The #1 Fertilizer!
Our urine fertilizer–permitted for land application in Vermont since 2012 by the Vermont’s Department of Environmental Conservation–is now registered as an official fertilizer! “U-Grow” is made from urine collected through Rich Earth’s community-scale urine nutrient reclamation program and processed using pasteurization technology developed by Rich Earth’s spin-off company, Brightwater Tools. U-Grow is certified in both Vermont and Massachusetts. We’re particularly excited about the precedent that this certification sets in MA, as the first legal authorization of land application of urine-derived fertilizers. This milestone is especially significant for coastal communities like Cape Cod, where urine diversion offers a practical tool for addressing an urgent wastewater crisis, and for Western Massachusetts, a hub of interest in sustainable farming. Local farmers and gardeners interested in accessing U-Grow should complete this form.
