The original, purely organic Alaskan fertilizer blended from wild salmon, beach combed bull kelp and hand harvested brown bear poop collected a pile at a time in the pristine rain forest wilderness of South East Alaska.
3BD are the three brothers Dalquist who came together in search of a way to subsidize their Alaskan fly-in camping addictions.
Discovering the 'harvest w/o harm' idea happened while hiking thru miles of overgrown logging roads, veritable brown bear highways, poking sticks in piles of bear poop as we trekked along one direction to determine if there had been anyone following us when we returned later in the day.
Where else but on these unique ABC islands (Admiralty, Baranof & Chichagof), where giant brown bears (some maturing to over a thousand pounds of fierce possessiveness) rule their domain, feasting on the protein rich rain forest vegetation, explosions of berry patches and the annual salmon runs that overwhelm the streams and rivers — where else could there be such a sustainable supply of their semi-digested meals?
In 2009 we established 3BD and FierceGrow was created as our flagship product, the ultimate in boutique fertilizers — nothing but untamed nature mixed and blended specifically for your home vegetables.
“Who wouldn't want to eat a fresh organic salad fertilized and imbued with the elixir of the mighty alaskan brown bear and the wild alaskan salmon?”
