Terra Biotics

What Terra Biotics does

Terra Biotics is a privately-held organic agriculture inputs company operating under the Living Stone Organics brand and headquartered in Deming, New Mexico. Founded in 2003, the company formulates and sells biological plant nutrients, biostimulants, and soil amendments built around a proprietary Prebiotic Delivery System — complex carbon compounds paired with humic and fulvic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates intended to feed probiotic soil biology. Its catalog spans general-purpose fertilizers (Ultra-Bio Boost, Complete, Soil Infusion, Fish Alive, Kelp Plus, Nitro Booster), stage-specific soluble powders for hemp/cannabis (Terra-PRO and PREMA Organic Lines), specialty blends for home growers and fruit/berry producers, and OMRI-approved bulk biostimulants (ALGAMAX seaweed extract, KHUMIC100 humic acid, FULVICMAX fulvic acid) for which it holds exclusive North American distribution rights for the Khumic line.

The company operates across six primary customer segments: commercial farms and row-crop agriculture (its primary segment), golf course turf management, hemp/cannabis cultivation, hydroponics and vertical farming, home growers, and fruit/berry producers. Distribution runs exclusively through the company's own e-commerce storefront at terrabiotics.com with shipping from its Deming facility, supplemented by a planned buildout of an outside sales team for B2B outreach to commercial farms and golf courses. The product is supported by a documented 5 Touch Farming System methodology spanning residue management, soil preparation, growing cycle, reproduction cycle, and finishing cycle, with public customer testimonials citing 25-30% higher yields and up to 50% reduction in additive nutrient needs.

The revenue model is one-time product sales with no subscription tier, though pricing spans $12.50 home-garden SKUs up to $193.60 commercial biostimulant bags and pallets. In 2021 the company launched a Regulation Crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine seeking up to $5 million to fund outside sales hires, digital marketing, trade shows, and a new potting soil product line. Stated targets are 300%+ sales growth in year one (from 2020), $3M annual revenue within three years, and $5.5M within five years at a 20% EBITDA margin. Current actuals are not disclosed, and the company operates with 1-10 employees.
