Why We Use Terpify at Ranchera Familia
By Ranchera Mami
Running a farm for over eight years teaches you a lot about inputs, soil, plant behavior, and where to invest your time. At Ranchera Familia, we follow a mixed-method sustainable system: we combine modern regenerative practices with a balance of organic and non-organic inputs that respect the land, respect the crop, and respect the workers who touch it. Everything we use has to earn its place.
Over the years, we’ve tested dozens of products. Some worked fine, many didn’t, and very few became trusted staples. Terpify is one of the rare inputs that stayed with us season after season — not because someone told us to use it, but because we saw real value in the field.
This is our honest experience with Terpify: how we use it, why we trust it, and what difference we’ve seen on a working farm.
How Terpify Aligns With Our Farm Values
We grow using a practical combination of sustainable approaches — strong soil building, mindful inputs, and a workflow that respects science just as much as intuition. Terpify fits into that system because:
- It is a clean 0-0-0 ingredient that never disrupts our feed schedule.
- It blends with both organic and non-organic programs without conflict.
- It works with the plant’s natural biological pathways instead of forcing growth.
- It integrates easily into soil, coco, hydro, and mixed media.
- It supports plant expression rather than overriding it.
We also appreciate something most growers overlook: it smells good. Many micronutrients smell like sulfur or rotten eggs, and one accidental splash can leave you smelling like a chicken coop the rest of the day. Terpify has a warm, pleasant botanical scent — so if it touches your hands or sleeves, you’re not walking around the ranch trying to air yourself out.
These details matter more than people realize. Farming is physical work. The small comforts count.
How We Use Terpify in Our Garden
Each season looks different — soil shifts, weather changes, and genetics behave uniquely — but our Terpify workflow stays consistent.
Seedling to Early Veg
We begin light applications once seedlings are established. The goal here is gentle support, not feeding.
Vegetative Stage
During veg, Terpify helps the plants stay balanced and resilient during fast growth, early shaping, and environmental stress.
Pre-Flower and Flower
This is where the plant’s natural character shines. During this stage, Terpify helps bring out a clearer, fuller aromatic identity. We don’t believe in forcing plants to be something they aren’t — we believe in supporting what’s already there.
Late Flower
We keep Terpify in the mix at low rates during finishing. Other inputs scale back as plants wind down, but Terpify continues to support natural expression.
What We’ve Observed Over Multiple Seasons
Across fields, greenhouses, soil blends, and climate shifts, we’ve noticed consistent patterns:
Improved Aromas
Not exaggerated or artificial — simply more defined. Plants express their natural scent more clearly.
Stronger Plant Presence
Healthy sheen, better color, and more confident structure. You can see the difference walking the rows.
Better Resin Structure
Especially in dry climates, we see cleaner, more well-defined resin formation.
More Consistent Expression Across the Field
Even where soil moisture varies or light differs, plants tend to finish more uniformly.
Faster Stress Recovery
Heat spikes, wind stress, and early shaping work are easier on the plants.
These observations aren’t marketing claims — they’re what we see with our own eyes every season.
Why Supporting Terpify Matters to Us as Women in Agriculture
Terpify is a Black female–owned and created product. As a female farmer, that matters to me. Agriculture — especially in cultivation — has historically been male-dominated. Representation is limited, and access to capital and recognition are even more limited.
Supporting women-owned agricultural businesses is not just a purchase decision. It is a statement about who we uplift in this industry and who deserves to be part of its future.
Using a product built by a Black woman in agriculture — someone who built something with integrity and intention — aligns deeply with our values. It feels good to stand behind a product that stands behind community.
Women supporting women in farming isn’t a trend. It is the foundation of a more inclusive agricultural world.
Closing Thoughts
After eight years of running this farm, the lesson that stays true is that plants respond to honesty. Good soil, clean inputs, balanced nutrition, and the right support at the right time — that’s what produces quality.
Terpify is part of our workflow because it helps our plants express themselves naturally. It respects the land, integrates into our sustainability practices, and it’s built by a company whose values align with ours.
We grow because we love the land.
We use Terpify because our plants respond to it, our farm benefits from it, and we believe in supporting the women who created it.
