Every other certification tells you how a rancher manages their land. EverSoil measures what the land is producing, and what that does to the food.
What EverSoil certifies
Outcomes, not practices. Two things are measured:
- The land. An upward soil-health trend on the ground the cattle graze, measured by SnapLands through Land EKG monitoring.
- The food. Lab-tested beef from that land, tested by lot at the lab of Dr. Stephan van Vliet at Utah State University.
How it works
| Principle | What it means |
|---|---|
| Trajectory, not pass or fail | Certification follows whether your soil-health trend is moving up. A baseline is a starting point, not a grade. |
| Tests the beef that's sold | Results come from the lot that carries the label, not from an animal's paperwork. |
| Producer-owned data | Your monitoring and test results stay yours and are shared only with your written approval. |
| Transparent results | Each certified lot has its own results, and the QR code on the package links to them. |
| Low cost | Fees are set to cover the cost of verification, so family-scale operations can take part. |

What we claim, and what we don't
We report what was measured. To date, EverSoil certified beef has sold around 20% above conventional, though we do not guarantee a set premium. We don't make purity or health-outcome claims.
