Clean Dirt is a Social Purpose Corporation.

We use the 3P business model and permaculture philosophy to turn locally sourced compost into nutrient dense, affordable soil.

Social Purpose Corporations are a growing business model originally formed in Washington, United States. Also known as B-corporations outside Washington, SPC’s are created with the three P’s in mind. This means they do not only focus on Profit, but also People and the Planet. First, Clean Dirt focuses on the planet by modeling a “permaculture” philosophy. We strive to minimize and utilize waste as well as let natural life cycles work its magic. In addition, our soil isn’t only labeled organic, but forgoes chemical additives and factory farm byproducts. Second, we prioritize people by maintaining an affordable price, and treating our employees with respect. Finally, profit is important for sustainability and by creating an efficient production process, we help keep manufacturing costs low. Above all, by synergizing these components of our process we are able to offer cheaper, nutrient dense, sustainably sound and organic soil for your farm or garden.
