WHAT IS ROCK DUST LOCAL?
Good Question. Rock Dust Local is the first company in North America specializing in the delivery of the BEST (Broad Elemental Spectrum Tectonic) rock dusts. This means local sourcing and nation-wide delivery of the highest value rock dust products. Our gradation blends are specifically formulated for optimal results in the field. Not all rock dusts are the same. We specialize in evaluation of geologic materials for use in a variety of applications; agriculture, forestry, land management, mitigation, soil or soil-less media, composting, waste management, biomass energy production, feed optimization, fertilizers, and energetics. Any material we offer commercially is fully vetted through geochemical analysis and meets or exceeds NOPS standards for certified organic production. Rock Dust Local has the most extensive source list of any company or organization in the world for this purpose. Our business is to deliver the highest value materials with the "Best Practices" for their use. For the professional grower, processor or manager, Rock Dust Local can provide cost effective materials and management strategies for building remineralization and intensive biologic methods into existing operations. These materials and practices are also highly beneficial in transitioning to Organic certification. We work with the best!

GROUNDWORK
A Growing Problem: Declining Fertility
Soil depletion and erosion is well documented. Nutrient value in growing mediums and top soils has diminished on farms and forest land. Poor management practices and natural mineral depletion has resulted in the diminishing profitability of commercial farms and the decline of nutritional value in crops. Declining nutritional content in food can be readily linked to declining health.
Remineralization Revitalizes Living Systems.
Remineralization is a global initiative carried out through local land management practices which revitalize biologic ecosystems. Increased nutrient value in food imparts health up and down the food chain. The sustainable local sourcing of mineral rich rock dusts for agriculture and forestry contributes to good health locally. Globally, it supports geo-engineering initiatives aimed at capturing atmospheric carbon, stabilizing the climate and reducing global warming.
ROCK DUST LOCAL MISSION
Rock Dust Local is dedicated to the revitalization of Earth's green mantle acre by acre. This enterprise is a processor and distributor of 100% natural mineral and organic soil building materials for use in farming, forestry, horticulture, landscaping, and gardening. We encourage the use of the broad elemental spectrum rock dust minerals and organic biologic inputs to counter the corrosive effects of soil acidification, nutrient depletion and toxicity. Our business model encourages integration with localization movements and nutrient dense food production.

Remineralization Works:
Good Science Documents Results at New Harmony.
Results from New Harmony Farm plot tests in W. Newbury MA, 2012. Using the Pioneer Valley Basalt BrixBlend - with no other amendments applied - produced a significant increase in plant weight over the controls in the first season; up to a 200% increase documented. Applications of Pioneer Valley Basalt BrixBlend in concentrations exceeding recommended protocols by 100% resulted in a tailing off of weight with no other adverse effects documented. Soil emissions of CO2 diminished against the controls indicating positive benefit of capturing atmospheric CO2, a potent green house gas. Scientific projects continue documenting results of utilizing BEST* Rock Dusts and Bio-char in agriculture. Scientific work at New Harmony Farm continues.

Benefits of Soil Remineralization
WHO BENEFITS? EVERYONE!

Consumer, Grower, Producer Benefits
Consumers: Remineralization is beneficial for the environment and contributes to raising the nutritional value of food for human consumption and feed for livestock. Farms practicing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) will be contributing to the revitalization of cropland and passing benefits derived from increased nutritional value to the consumer.
A measurable increase in mineral content of plants through Brix metering and plant tissue analysis has been associated with increased resistance to disease, drought, and frost as well as a decreased dependency on pesticides, commercial fertilizers and irrigation. This adds up to sustainable living. Share this information with your growers, co-ops and grocers.
Growers: Home gardeners, commercial conventional or USDA Certifiable Organic growers producing dairy, fruits, berries, vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, grains, medicinals, meat and poultry, as well as foresters producing pulp, biomass fuel, lumber, maple sugar, land managers, turf managers, landscapers... soil remineralization provides a foundation of fertility in a cost effective and sustainable method. If you are a commercial grower considering transitioning to the certified USDA Organic market we can help. Contact us. Our materials and practices are certifiable.
Soil Amendment Manufacturers and Distributors: If you are a producer or distributor of soil amendments or biomass materials such as compost, potting soil, mulch, seedling starter mixes for horticulture, greenhouse growing mediums, or soil-less growing mediums for aquaculture, these materials may be incorporated into your value-added products. Market these products as "Remineralized". We can work with you to create value-added blends or single source packaged goods for wholesale or retail starting with local or regional materials. If you want to work with us we want to hear from you! Contact.
