What is biochar?

Build a Better Soil. Grow a Cleaner Future.

Soil isn’t just dirt—it’s the foundation of everything we grow. And with the right tools, you can make it come alive. That’s where biochar comes in. Biochar is a plant-based form of carbon, created by heating organic material at high temperatures without oxygen. This process locks in carbon and produces a lightweight, porous material that dramatically improves your soil’s structure, water retention, microbial activity, and nutrient delivery. It’s like giving your soil a long-lasting sponge and energy boost—naturally and sustainably.

How Wakefield BioChar Helps

At Wakefield BioChar, we take this incredible material and make it easy for everyone to use. From the curious first-time gardener to the expert grower with acres of land, our products are designed to work with your goals. We refine and blend high-quality biochar into ready-to-use soil mixes and pure soil conditioners. Whether you’re trying to grow a thriving vegetable garden, fix compacted soil, reduce runoff, or use less water—we’ve got your back. Biochar isn’t just proven science—it’s the future of better soil.

Why We Started

Wakefield BioChar began as more than just a product line—it was a promise. A promise to carry out the original vision of our father, who saw biochar’s potential long before most people had heard of it. His belief was simple: if you can give back to the Earth while helping it grow, why wouldn’t you? That belief became the foundation of Wakefield BioChar. With deep roots in agriculture and sustainability, our team built this company to honor his idea and scale it into something that could make a difference. Today, every bag we ship is part of that legacy.

The Environmental Impact

Using biochar is one of the most efficient ways to improve soil health and fight climate change at the same time. Our process is carbon-negative, which means it removes more CO₂ from the atmosphere than it produces. When you add biochar to your soil, that carbon stays locked in the ground for hundreds of years. The porous structure improves water retention—reducing the need for frequent irrigation—and boosts the biological life in your soil, which leads to healthier plants and higher yields. This is real sustainability you can see in action.
