Understanding Our Process

Getting Regenified

From your initial field verification to your annual reverification visits, we learn about your practices and outcomes to find your place in our tiered certification system.

Farmers and ranchers appreciate the expertise our verifiers bring to their land and the extensive data we return to them—the objective truth about the function of the energy cycle, water cycle, mineral cycle, and diversity of life in their soil.

The certified regenerative supply chain originates on your farm, with boots-on-the-ground information gathered by our soil health experts.

Field by field, datapoint by datapoint, we capture the evidence of regenerative outcomes to help you build the case for differentiation in the marketplace. When you’re ready to substantiate your claims through rigorous, data-driven regenerative certification—we’re here for you. Reach out to tell us some basic details about yourself, your goals, and your current practices. This begins the conversation that will move forward with a proposal to perform an initial verification of your land. After signing a contract to work with us, we will proceed to scheduling your verification and walking you through the documentation we’ll need to collect prior to our visit.

Prior to Verification

We strive to keep your initial onboarding and annual re-verification process streamlined and straightforward. To schedule your verification, we require a regenerative farm plan, detailed information on the inputs you’re currently using, and other basic information about your operation—we take care of the rest. Here’s what we’ll need:

Send Us Your Field Data

Complete a form listing all animals and crops per field.

Send Us Your Farm Maps

Any form of map is accepted, but it must have clear labels and field boundaries.

Submit Your Farm Plan

This is a logical step-by-step plan to implement practices which address each of the soil health principles and rules of adaptive stewardship.

Complete Your Input Sheets

We’ll send you a form to share complete details on any inputs currently being used, application rates, and acreage it was applied to across all fields.

Submit Your Fuel & Electricity Usage

Provide data for the past year, a report from your service provider works well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is field verification important?

Impartial field assessment ensures adherence to regenerative standards, maintaining program integrity and consumer trust. It supports farmers’ transition and provides actionable insights for continuous improvement.

Do I need to be present for my verification?

Our verifiers are incredibly knowledgeable soil health experts. Your verification visit represents an excellent learning opportunity that many of our customers take advantage of. The verifier will need to conduct a brief overview of your operation with you at the start of the visit. You are not required to accompany them in the field, but you are welcome to join for as much of the visit as you’d like.

What methods are used for soil assessment during verification?

Regenified uses a combination of in-field evaluations, including the Single Ring Infiltrometer, Line Point Intercept, Soil Odor Score, Penetrometer or Shovel Test, and Livestock Body Condition Scoring. Lab soil testing includes the Haney Test, PLFA Test, Total Carbon w/ Bulk Density Test, Aggregate Stability, and Water Holding Capacity.

How often will you visit?

We schedule annual reverification visits to collect in-field data and soil samples for lab testing. On rare occasions, we may arrange a follow-on visit if circumstances require us to return to capture a key datapoint.

How long will it take to go through the verification process?

Several factors influence timing and completion of the verification process, including your location, your growing season, the number of fields being verified, and receipt of your completed prerequisite information prior to scheduling. On field verification visits range from 1 day to a week and sometimes longer, depending on the operation. Verification results, including lab test results, are available 60 days after verification is complete.

I want to get certified, what do I do next?

If you’re ready to discuss getting Certified Regenified, submit the form on our Get Certified page. Our team will be in touch with you soon to learn more about your goals.

How much does verification cost?

Cost is variable and customized to each operation, the number of acres and fields you have, and the general proximity of fields to one another. We will provide an estimate based on these factors and any other relevant info you can share with us.

When in my regenerative journey should I get verified?

The answer depends on your values, motivations, current practices, and potential market opportunities. Some of our farmers have been working to improve their soil health for a while prior to getting certified, because they saw it as way to make their land more resilient, reduce their input costs, and presented a better quality of life that produces healthier crops and animals. They are now ready to independently validate their story, clarify the impact they are having, and differentiate their products in the marketplace. Others more recently started their journey, and see the benefit of entering a rigorous, data-driven program that guides them to achieve meaningful results as quickly as possible so they can realize the economic and ecological benefits on a shortened time scale. Does this sound like you?

What can I expect as a result of my verification?

You’ll understand how your management practices are influencing your soil health and ecosystem outcomes with a clear vision on how to improve your positive impact. You’ll build data that proves your regenerative claims are real and proudly certified by the industry’s most rigorous verification protocol. And you’ll gain entry to a community of farmers and ranchers like you, sharing knowledge, resources, and access to our growing network of supply chain partners and buyers.
