Growing Mother Nature's Way

Bricko Farms made its start in 1977 with Compostost® Breakfast for Flowers, a compost we make on a giant scale. We are the largest commercial custom compost production site in the Southeastern United States. Even though we turn out thousands of tons per year, our organic plant food is produced using the same trusted method experienced gardeners have made at home for years. We just have a bigger pile.

Gardeners who visit us down on the river confess to acute envy attacks when they see our operation. While we usually have various crops that are green and growing, the major crop at Bricko Farms is compost. Yes, compost!  We began making our premium growing food with nature’s help more than 50 years ago for our home garden. And for the last 30 years, we've been making it for a good many others.

Bricko: Thirty Years (and more) Growing!

It Began With An Idea: Bill Bricker, his wife and sons along with their partner, Ed Hensley, started in 1977 with leftover, wired-together, junk-caliber equipment on a 10-acre site found on the banks of the Savannah River. After we acquired the land, next we looked around for sources of compost material. We had the formula and the mission. But the one thing we did not have was money. Beginning with a couple of old trucks, strong backs, enthusiasm, and the spirit to succeed, we began to spread the word about our product. Bill had this vision of selling one bag to every household, so we got busy and asked for donations. Fast forward to today, and you'll find after three decades of continual growth and success, the process is remarkably the same. The equipment is more up-to-date; books are kept on computers; we can turn a pile faster and more efficiently; and our volume increases year by year. But it still comes down to 30 days with the right combination of raw material letting the organic process transform waste into the grower's best friend.

The Next Generation: We knew way back when that if we could mirror Nature's Way, only make it faster with the right conditions, we could bring this great growing mixture to market. We have been doing it 30 years now, and we have no plans to stop. Bill's youngest of three sons, John, has been at his father's side from the onset. Now, at the age his dad was when the business began, John is set to continue running the company.

People need plants. Plants need food.
At Bricko, we make the best there is.
