Background

TransfOrmus was established in 2017, following many years of research and product development in South Africa and Australia.

Most people have never heard of Ormus, so if this is your first time, welcome to the world of Ormus! Ormus opens a cost-effective gateway way to reduce the usage of harmful chemicals in our soils and increase the quality and quantity of our food, feed and fibre yields.

Mission

Why are we doing this? Because Ormus is too good and too important not to share!

We aim to contribute mindfully to the health of Planet Earth and all that share it, and Ormus is a powerful tool to assist with this work.

We use the highest quality organic inputs, with stringent attention to production detail for our planet changing products. These are sustainable, harmonic and their positive effect accumulates over time.

Ormus helps promote regenerative agricultural practices to help heal our depleted soils and get the best possible nutrition from our crops. The vision is abundance.
