Talborne exported components of our fertilizer range to Europe, mostly Germany in the early 1990’s when environmental legislation restricted the use of synthetic, water-soluble fertilizers to control environmental pollution.  Talborne Organics fertilizers were conceptualised in the early 90’s but local market interest justified the launch of Vita Organic Fertilizer in 2000. Organic methods were previously regarded with suspicion and classified as emotional or eccentric by BIG AG companies. Today there is a focus on organic methods as the future of growing albeit under different labels such as Regenerative, Biological, Conservation farming, Nature, Sustainable, Biodynamic and Permaculture all subscribe to the organic concept of nurturing the soil. Large commercial agricultural groups have embraced and benefited from these methods.  Many a farmer converted from conventional synthetic growing has remarked, that the organic approach and farming co-operatively rather than in conflict with nature, has rekindled a passion for farming that had been “lost in a haze of toxic chemicals” applied to kill and poison before a problem developed in an attempt to produce viable crop quality and yields.
