What Mirimichi Green Express does

Mirimichi Green Express is a privately held bio-based product developer founded in 2011 and headquartered in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, with manufacturing operations in Clinton, NC. The company formulates and sells a portfolio of soil amendments, organic biostimulants and fertilizers, and natural pesticides aimed at the professional landscape industry. Its core technology, CarboMatrix, combines activated biochar with premium organic compost into soil amendments marketed as permanent (claimed ~500-year half-life) and is delivered across both the flagship CarbonizPN blend and its granular CarbonizPN-G form. The portfolio is layered with ByoSpxtrum, a soluble microbial consortium, and a Liquid Carbon Technology (incorporated into all liquid SKUs at 2–10% carbon).

The company sells primarily through a distributor channel that includes SiteOne Landscape Supply, Ewing Irrigation & Landscape Supply, Horizon Distributors, CPS Distributors, and LESCO (under the co-branded LESCO CarbonPro-G), reaching 800+ points of distribution across the United States, with supplemental direct e-commerce through its own online store. Primary end customers are golf course superintendents, sports field managers, landscaping professionals, and equine facilities, supported by regional sales managers covering West Coast, Florida/Southeast, Northeast, and Texas territories. Revenue comes almost entirely from one-time unit sales of packaged physical goods with no disclosed recurring or subscription component.

Mirimichi Green is a bootstrapped, founder-led business (CEO/owner Russ Britton, COO Web Cowden) that has raised approximately $1M in disclosed equity across a 2015 and a 2018 round, with no subsequent institutional capital. Strategic activity over the past decade has centered on incremental product line extensions (most recently CarbonizPN-G in October 2024 and 4-4-4 Organic Granular Fertilizer in March 2023), manufacturing capacity upgrades in 2020, sales-team geographic buildout, and curated partnerships such as the US Equestrian sponsorship in 2018. The business operates with 11–50 employees and has received the 2017 NCMEP Leadership Award in Sustainable Manufacturing as its principal third-party credential.
