I didn’t grow up thinking I’d become a farmer, let alone a manure mogul. I was an educator first. Then a self-taught fashion designer. And now? I run a 6-acre in Georgia where I grow food, rescue and raise alpacas, and teach families how to live off the land in style, but this isn’t just about the farm. It’s about the fertilizer.

Five years ago, I became obsessed with manure & growing plants quickly.

I studied every kind cow, chicken, rabbit. But when I learned that alpacas had the highest NPK levels of any common manure and didn’t burn plants? I was hooked.

I rescued a few alpacas and started experimenting with their manure. I was chasing the kind of growth you’d see in Jack & the Beanstalk. I wanted bigger harvests & lightning speed plant growth.

I started packaging alpaca manure & running labs on my own farms plant growth as well as working alongside a manure testing science lab. It was just for friends at first. Then strangers. Then thousands of strangers. And now? Over 30 million people watch my content every month & I’m affectionately known as the ” Doo Doo Diva ” a fashion forward educating farmer/ doo doo slinger. What started with a scoop of poop, pink gloves and a dream to grow plants on my farm quickly without harmful chemicals has become a full-blown movement.

As of April 15th, this project has raised $100,000 of their $60,000 goal. This project has 27 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $40, you will get one bag. For a pledge of $55, you will get one bag and book.
