What We Grow

We are a Useful Plant Nursery and microfarm focused on phytonutritional, edible, and medicinal plants. We grow plants that serve a purpose: to nourish your body, heal your ailments, and rebuild your soil.

The 2026 Core Collection: 52 Plants. While we have over 120 varieties growing on the multi-plot micro-farms, we have intentionally narrowed our 2026 propagation list to these core plants. We chose 52 resilient, high-yield, and useful species for our North Texas bioregion.

Each month we offer 60-100 of the 4 of 5 starter plants from that month's guild. They are small but hardy! You can buy just one plant, or all in the guild bundle for a discount. If you decide you want each monthly guild, by the end of the year you will have a 52 perennial plant forest garden!

How We Grow

We use regenerative, natural farming methods

• No Chemicals: We use zero inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides and rely on natural farming methods such as Korean Natural Farming (KNF).

• Living Soil: Our focus is on cultivating "good tilth"- a living, breathing soil that supports plants naturally. We use proven methods that have shown how to bio-remediate glysophate from our soils and bodies and re-mineralize.

• Bioregional Focus: Every plant we offer is either native to zone B or perfectly adapted to our climate, ensuring it will thrive without constant intervention.

Hi, I'm Kirsten.

Owner of Good Tilth Farm and Nursery, a seasonal, sub-acre, multiplot nursery that grows and curates some of the unusual and useful plants that I had a difficult time finding when I started growing.

17 years ago I received my permaculture design certification through the Permaculture Institute of Australia and have worked as a permaculture designer, market gardener, greenhouse manager, and educator throughout the DFW area over the years.

We use permaculture principles and natural, regenerative farming to put the minerals and nutrients back into the soil where they belong.

Good Tilth is here to help people grow good things in the soil, in the plants and in ourselves. Our first home and work were both in a garden.

Good tilth. Good plants. Good food.
