Regenerative Agriculture
Soil Health • Animal Nutrition • Circular Systems
Light Forager, White Eagle Nutrition, and Nellie's Garden are dedicated to advancing sustainable practices in soil health, regenerative agriculture, and animal nutrition. Based in Houston and greater Texas, we use innovative, nature-based solutions to enhance food security, ecosystem resilience, and community well-being. Our shared mission emphasizes nutrient recovery, education, and circular systems that benefit people, animals, and the environment. At the core of our work is the transformative potential of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), but our broader vision extends to fostering healthier soils, stronger communities, and more nutritious outcomes across Texas.
Founded in Houston, we are committed to collaborating with local partners like the Houston Rodeo to expand outreach efforts—educating and engaging community groups on practical steps toward regenerative farming, improved animal care, and vibrant local food systems.
Light Forager
lightforager.orgA Houston-based nonprofit focused on improving soil health and food security through community-driven initiatives. We support community gardens and local growers by distributing regenerative materials, providing education, and promoting sustainable nutrient recovery programs.
Key Activities
Soil Studies & Education — Research on soil types and amendments to optimize plant growth and nutrient density; workshops for homes, schools, and gardens.
Material Distribution — Donating soil amendments and materials to regenerate land and retain nutrients, helping communities build resilient ecosystems.
Community Partnerships — Collaborating with schools, youth groups, and organizations from Houston to rural Texas on soil regeneration and local food production.
Nationwide Outreach — Extending resources across the U.S. to connect people with tools for better nutrition and stronger neighborhoods.
By treating soil as a living system, Light Forager promotes regenerative agriculture that enhances food quality, reduces waste, and strengthens ecosystems—aligning with Texas’s agricultural heritage and urban gardening needs.
White Eagle Nutrition
whiteeaglenutrition.comSpecializes in BSFL-biodigested feed and supplements to boost animal health, longevity, and vitality. We create a virtuous cycle: converting organic material into nutrient-rich feed, delivering tailored nutrition, and reinvesting in regenerative farming and animal welfare.
Key Products & Focus
Animal-Specific Formulations — Products for poultry, dogs, horses, fish, and reptiles featuring up to 85% digestible BSFL protein rich in lauric acid for immunity, antimicrobial peptides for gut health, and botanicals for joint and tissue support.
Regenerative Practices — BSFL converts organics into nutrition in a 7–12 day biodigesting process, reducing land use by up to 42× vs. traditional feeds while capturing residual water and returning compost to soils.
Ethical, locally-sourced ingredients ideal for Texas ranchers, pet owners, and livestock operations seeking sustainable animal nutrition.
Nellie’s Garden
nelliesgarden.comFocused on providing Texas-grown BSFL frass, compost, and biochar for soil regeneration and ongoing land health. Initial production is being established in Bleiblerville, TX. Our mission is to deliver balanced, microbe-dense living soil matter to make food more nutritious, gardens more bountiful, and land more resilient while upcycling local organic material for zero-waste cycles.
Key Products & Applications
BSFL Frass — Slow-release amendment with chitin for pest resistance and microbial inoculants (e.g., Bacillus species) that boosts root mass, reduces water use, and accelerates nutrient recycling. Supplemented mixes with biochar, compost, and worm compost also in development.
Gardening Uses — Ideal for vegetable beds, seed starting, houseplants, hydroponics, turf, and coastal soils—reducing issues like powdery mildew and increasing calcium in greens.
Local Sourcing — Feedstock from local food distributors and producers ensures traceability and supports Texas’s regenerative economy.
Nellie’s Garden transforms waste into soil vitality, fostering regenerative gardening aligned with broader efforts in soil health and community sustainability.
Regenerative, Circular Processes
Our shared mission centers on closing the loop—transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich soil amendments and animal feed, then returning those nutrients to the land. This circular approach regenerates ecosystems, strengthens local food systems, and builds resilience across Texas communities.
Soil Regeneration
Restoring soil biology, structure, and fertility through natural nutrient cycling
Circular Systems
Zero-waste processes that convert organic material back into productive inputs
Community Impact
Education, outreach, and partnerships that empower local growers and families
Partnership Opportunities with Houston Rodeo
We are eager to partner with the Houston Rodeo to extend outreach to Texas community groups. Together, we can host workshops, distribute materials, and run programs on soil health, regenerative agriculture, and animal nutrition—empowering Houston-area families, schools, and farmers. Let’s build a more sustainable Texas.
