Powered by cutting-edge DNA sequencing to deliver real-world soil solutions.
Healthy Soil Grows Better Food, Stronger Plants, and More Resilient Land
See how better soil means healthier products, fewer addatives, and lower costs.
Using cutting-edge DNA sequencing, we help you understand your soil’s biology and give you simple, actionable steps to grow more nutritious, better-tasting food while reducing the need for chemicals in your garden.
We use advanced DNA sequencing to measure your soil’s biological health and translate it into practical recommendations that help you reduce input costs, build more resilient fields, and become more profitable.
Leverage cutting-edge DNA sequencing to access detailed insights into soil microbial communities. Our platform delivers high-quality, interpretable data to support research, analysis, and discovery.
We provide a comprehensive view of the living community in your system capturing bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists across soil and plant environments. Each service is designed to reveal how biology is functioning and where opportunities exist to improve outcomes. Together, these insights help connect microbiome activity to plant health, productivity, and product performance.
Soil Test
Full bulk soil health report.
Gain a complete picture of the microbial community driving your soil’s performance. This test reveals the balance of key organisms responsible for nutrient cycling, structure, and resilience. Ideal for gardeners, farmers, and researchers seeking a foundational understanding of soil health.
Root Test
Check your root health.
See how plants interact directly with the microbial world at the root level. We offer two approaches: one capturing both rhizosphere and root-associated biology, and another focused on endophytes after washing. Ideal for farmers and researchers evaluating plant–microbe relationships and treatment impacts.
Seed Test
Discover insight about your seeds
Explore the biological potential carried within seeds before planting begins. This test helps compare seed sources, evaluate microbial richness, and understand how seed biology may influence plant performance. Ideal for regenerative farmers, researchers, and seed companies focused on improving outcomes from the start.

Our approach is shaped by hands-on work at Union Grove Farm Vineyard, where soil biology is managed in a working production system.
We translate complex biological data into clear recommendations you can use immediately.
Our goal is to improve how your system performs, without unnecessary disruption.
GenTrek Labs was launched independently, with ongoing collaboration with Advancing Eco Agriculture to stay aligned with real-world needs.
GenTrek Labs helps growers understand the living biology in their soil so they can grow healthier crops, reduce inputs, and improve consistency.
Built from experience in both advanced science and real-world farming, our approach focuses on strengthening the natural system already at work beneath the surface.
The result is better-performing crops, more resilient land, and a growing system that supports both profitability and long-term soil health.
We believe healthy soil doesn’t just improve what you grow—it helps create a more sustainable environment and a stronger future for the next generation of growers.
Your soil is a living system, and understanding it is the key to improving how it performs. Our analysis provides a clear, data-driven view of your soil’s biological health, helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
Our approach provides a detailed view into the biology of your soil, revealing the interactions that drive nutrient availability, plant performance, and resilience. By measuring microbial communities and biological activity, we uncover patterns that are otherwise invisible—helping explain why certain areas thrive while others struggle.
This information gives you a foundation for better decision-making. Instead of relying on trial and error, you can understand your soil’s current state, identify limitations, and take targeted steps to improve performance over time.
No matter your circumstance our goal is the same, to not just give you the tools to understand your soil better, but to give you solutions that you can implement for your specific situation.
Wheather you're interested in growing healthier food, reducing costs of inputs, or being less prone to disasters, our analysis can help you meet your goals. We can even measure results over time to identify improvments and create long term objectives.
Key Areas of Insight Include:
Healthy soil boosts crops, gardens, and research. Our tests help you understand your land and grow healthier and more suistanable.
