Welcome

Humble Acres Organics is a family owned composting operation, located in Blackville, South Carolina, in Barnwell County. The original farm was purchased in 1923 and has been farmed for five generations. Organic compost, and organic potting soil are the major commodities produced on the farm today.

Organic Compost

Organic dirt? Really? YES! We follow the USDA organic compost guidelines to ensure the proper internal heating of our products. This step-by-step process kills noxious weed seed and harmful soil microbes. We then let the compost sit in order to allow the natural, beneficial microbes, to recolonize the soil. Making quality compost takes time and effort. Please follow the link below to learn more about the guidelines we adhere to.

Will B. of Rayven Moon Gardens in Inman, SC

I have the proof that you wanted to see versus hear. This is a 40 day growth pattern after the transplants rooted firmly in their new home.
This raised bed was initially mixed with 5 bags of chicken compost at transplant stage then watered minimally with filtered tap water when no rain was abundant. I had no transpiration issues on scorching days due to the water retention aspect of your compost. Amazing!
The only thing that I can find that truly allowed a intense growth spurt that is not pictured was footprint planting. All of these rare pepper plants was planted directly in a planting hole of chicken compost. This allowed the plant to freely root and uptake directly from the compost as they developed. 5-6 ft plants by end of season was the end result of your chicken compost magic.
Proof is in the pudding. Customer for life. My plants love the organics of chicken compost.
