What inspired the creation of MAYA?
Who would have thought that a small plant like alfalfa could make such a difference?
Customers told us that spreading the Hartog Alfalfa Mix over horse pastures had a surprising effect: the soil seemed more vital, and the grass grew fuller and developed a deep green color. That’s why Grasdrogerij Hartog decided to explore this further, leading to the creation of .
If alfalfa can have such a positive effect on soil and grass, why not create a sustainable plant fertilizer for every garden? This led to MAYA’s first product: a complete organic fertilizer based on alfalfa, a plant food that not only produces a beautifully green lawn but also nourishes and improves the soil.
From the very beginning, we made a clear choice: no animal ingredients such as manure, blood, or bones. Instead, we derive all our strength from plants. This is what makes MAYA a symbol of a better world and a more sustainable future.
The story of MAYA
At MAYA, we strive to contribute to fertile soil and a more sustainable living environment for future generations. With our organic plantfeed, we offer a complete and natural solution for agriculture, residential properties, and landscaping. Thanks to our experience and expertise, we understand the importance of healthy soil for everything that grows and thrives.
Our mission is to truly make a difference: by providing the soil with natural nutrients from within, increasing soil fertility, and supporting the ecosystem's resilience. With MAYA, we combine nutrition, soil improvement, and stimulation of soil life in a single product. In this way, we aim to contribute to a sustainable cycle in which people, animals, plants, and nature are interconnected.
Every application of our fertilizers supports the natural partnership between plants and soil. This not only means visibly better results during the growing season, but also a consistently healthy and resilient soil in the long term.
