Effective Microorganisms (EM) - MAKING ORGANIC EASY
Every year millions of pounds of insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers and chemicals are poured into our environment as a way to help grow our food. Much of these chemicals end up not only in our food, but in us and in our waterways and soil.
What if there was a way to grow our food and get better results without all of these chemicals? There is! It's called EM farming!
EM technology is the most advanced agricultural system used to grow bigger and healthier plants and to maximize yields. Amazingly, EM does this in an organic way that is safe -- even a child could handle EM. EM uses scientifically-proven techniques that blend beneficial microorganisms in a way that enhances the natural microbiology found in both our water and our soil. That is when the magic happens!

For one-tenth the cost of conventional chemical farming, the beneficial microbes in EM allow the nutrients in the soil to be more available to the plant, creating optimal conditions for healthy plant growth.
EM, which stands for Effective Microorganisms, is a live liquid microbial formula that is easy to apply, which gives you great results quickly and is easy on the pocket.
This Indiegogo campaign is not just about raising money for our fork lift and water processing equipment for the first EM manufacturing facility on the East Coast. It is also about sharing information about EM with all of you. Our environment is in trouble and we can't keep doing what we have been doing year after year. It is time to use EM as a tool to grow our food, repair the soil and repair the earth! This is true farming for the future, true sustainability.
When we open our facility this spring, EM will be more available to people on the East Coast with lower shipping costs. Also we will be selling activated EM which will also bring costs down.
For the farmer and the gardener, EM provides for healthier plants. When you have a healthier plant, it is far less likely to attract insects. Also, a healthier plant is more resistant to problems with the weather. For you, this means much less frustration, and greater success for your hard work.

Why buy EM?

That is better for us and all the critters in the environment, the bees , the birds, the frogs, the butterflies, the entire soil food web! We are all in this together!
Here are more of the many features and benefits you get with EM:
-
Improves crop quality and yield
-
Is certified organic
-
Is safe to use; non-toxic, you can even drink EM it is so safe, or brush your teeth with it!
-
Is non-GMO
-
Improves plant root development
-
Increases beneficial microbial activity in the soil
-
Gets plants off to a quick start.
-
Makes it possible for plants to absorb more nutrition from the soil
-
Creates vitamins, anti-oxidants, and enzymes that are used by the plant
-
Builds up organic matter quickly in the soil
-
Promotes soil formation and structure
-
Improves the porous quality of the soil; when the soil is more porous it uses water more efficiently
And if those benefits are not enough, here are a few more reasons why EM is a game changer:
-
It composts organic matter in a quarter of the time
-
Clears out the drip tape for longer lasting use
-
Breaks down ammonia into ammonium. What does this mean? It turns the nitrogen in the soil into a slow release fertilizer that is more absorb-able by the plant and is less volatile.
Watch how composting is done.

-
EM also works with animal waste: it reduces odor from animal waste; helps compost animal waste quickly; it converts animal waste into soil more quickly and easily.
-
EM is safe for animals to drink. It increases their grow out weights and promotes good animal health, including better feed conversion.
-
EM is an anti-oxidant, which prevents the rusting of equipment.
-
EM digests septic waste, and helps maintain your septic system at a lower cost
-
EM cleans water by dissolving concentrated wastes and nutrients; it increases the oxygen in water.
History of EM
EM, which stands for Effective Microorganisms, was invented by Dr. Teruo Higa, a professor of horticulture from Okinawa, Japan. Dr. Higa invented EM over a 20 year period. EM finally came to market in the 1980s. It is now used in over 130 countries around the world, for crop production, odor control, septic maintenance, water and soil remediation, wastewater treatment and people and animal health.
