I've been using Haven Brand Manure Tea for well over a year now, and have been very pleased with the noticeable results. From houseplants to plant cuttings, seedlings to established plants, Haven Brand Tea, also affectionately known as Moo Poo Tea, is a sun-dried, composted manure, from livestock that graze only on natural, chemical and pesticide-free native grasses. In my own use, I've found that using Haven Brand Tea gives me stronger, sturdier plants that I start from seed, such as tomatoes and peppers, cabbages and other Cole crops, and even flower seedlings such as zinnias and marigolds. Even the houseplants, which require little fertilizer during the winter, are noticeably more lush and vibrant with a once a month watering using this product. Cut flowers last longer when a little Haven Brand Tea is added to their water. Used as instructed (within 1-3 days) the brewed tea remains odorless, and the 'tea bags' themselves can be composted after brewing, much like coffee grounds or kitchen scraps. One other thing that I really appreciate is the fact that Annie Haven with Haven Brand Manure Tea, is very approachable online via Email, Twitter and Facebook, and from what I've seen elsewhere, via phone and even in person, if any questions arise concerning the use of their products. That's important to me, to have answers to questions I may have, straight from the source. I would highly recommend Haven Brand Manure Tea as a product that, in MY opinion, leads to stronger, healthier plants, more vibrant foliage, flowers and produce, is safe around children and pets, and best of all, is 100% organic.

As an organic vegetable grower, I am always on the lookout for natural products that are simple to use in my garden. In the past year, I got to know Annie Haven via her active role in the online gardening community. She is incredibly knowledgeable about growing organically and is committed to providing a top quality product with great customer service.
I started using MooPooTea last spring in my vegetable garden, and now I would not garden without it. It's fun and easy to use, and I always have a serving of tea brewing and ready to feed our crops. I've seen a significant improvement in yields and in general garden health. I recently planted our third generation garlic seed after soaking it in Moo Poo Tea overnight, and it literally exploded with growth!
It's exciting to see a heritage producer like Annie Haven continuing her family traditions while at the same time embracing the online gardening community with encouragement and wisdom.
Give your garden a tea party...you won't be sorry!

I began using this product last year on my miniature roses. As an avid rose gardener, I am constantly looking for natural products that will help me achieve beautiful beautifully formed roses on well supported stems. After just a month of using this product, the foliage was beautiful and the blooms that followed turned out to be award winners! I entered these blooms in my local rose show and won top honors. Not to mention a photo of one of these blooms was chosen to be included in the 2012 American Rose Society Calendar. We have now expanded use of this product to include my entire rose garden of 85 roses and the success has been wonderful. Glad I found this product.

Nothing is more connecting to the earth than gardening, growing things, raising your own livestock.
Annie Haven is continuing this tradition of her family. Her family has been in California since 1859 I believe and has been working the land these 150+ years.
This past year I was introduced to A. Haven Brand manure teas. I was curious what set this product apart from the rest. In my exploration I called and talked to Miss Haven and we discussed the closed loop she cultivates- antibiotic & hormone free cattle fed on natural grass pastures free of pesticides and herbicides.
I have a small nursery and container business and am seeking out more natural, green, sustainable, and eco-friendly products.
After a year of selling and using "MooPooTea" I feel assured that there can be no finer product that I can recommend to my customers and clients. From feeding seedlings, drenching annuals and plant starts, cuttings, containers, planting trees, shrubs and evergreens- don't let me forget house plants, I can't say enough positive about "MooPooTea".
In a time where food safety is concerned, what more natural product could one use? Natural, safe around children and pets, safe to feed your vegetables and fruits, and easy to brew. I highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone.
