★★★★★

"Lucy's Soil is an Iowa gem. I feel so lucky to be farming so close to the facility. The C3, organic soil mix from Lucy's is the go-to soil for soil block transplant production. I start over 100,000 transplants each year that goes into feeding vegetables to over 200 families. To have a source of local soil for good transplant production is a huge deal. The soil is consistent, affordable and local. Lucy's has wonderful customer service and is easy to work with. I honestly don't know what I'd do without Lucy's and the C3 mix. It is the foundational building block for production on my farm."
