About Back to the Roots
Back to the Roots sells organic gardening products, including bulk and bagged soil, potting mix, compost, mulch, heirloom seeds, seed-starting pots and kits, and worm castings.
Its customers are home gardeners and families. Products are sold through its own online store and through retailers including Target, Walmart, Lowe's, The Home Depot and Amazon. Its #GrowOneGiveOne programme links customer activity to donations: customers who post a photo of what they grew trigger a donation of a gardening kit and curriculum to an elementary school classroom.
The co-founders, Alejandro Velez and Nikhil Arora, met in college and began growing mushrooms as urban farmers in Oakland, California. ICA Fund Good Jobs, an Oakland-based nonprofit investment fund, was the company's first investor. The company's current job listing is a remote Fulfillment Specialist role in Ontario, California.
Product: Organic bulk and bagged soil, potting mix, compost, mulch, heirloom seeds, seed-starting pots and grow kits, and worm castings.
