Who We Are

Meet Janell & Dan

Janell
Water & Soil Practitioner · Founder

Janell's fascination with the natural world eventually led her to the regenerative agriculture movement, where she discovered that microorganisms are the real engine of healthy land. After years of study, hands-on practice, and working with mentors in soil biology, water restoration, and permaculture design, she now helps landowners build landscapes that are naturally drought-resilient, flood-resistant, and full of life.

  • Certified Water Restoration Practitioner
  • Permaculture Design Certification
  • Thermophilic Composting Specialist
  • Community educator & curriculum developer
Dan
Soil Biologist & Lab Technician

Dan brings analytic rigor to the partnership. His microscopy skills allow the team to verify soil biology directly — seeing with their own eyes whether the bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa of a healthy soil food web are present and thriving.
