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 choose 52, most 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 as a guild 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 resilient 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 and offers permaculture and natural farming services and workshops. If you are looking for Lorica Tea, the sister company of Good Tilth, Lorica lives here now.

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

Good Tilth is here is 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.
