Back to the Roots, an organic gardening company, has announced a significant retail expansion of its organic soil program with Sam's Club. Following a successful 50-store pilot in 2025, the brand's premium Organic Raised Bed Mix has expanded nationally as the exclusive organic soil at Sam's Club, bringing professional-grade organic growing media to members at a high-value price.

Why it matters

This move further solidifies Back to the Roots' position as the pure organic gardening brand within the Walmart Inc. ecosystem, leveraging the logistics and scale of both Walmart and Sam's Club to offer premium organic soils at a price point and volume that can open up organics to more families. The expansion marks a major milestone in the company's mission to democratize organic gardening and bring its high-performance, sustainable formulas to a broader audience of suburban and rural gardeners.

The details

The Back to the Roots Organic Raised Bed Mix is specifically formulated for high-yield vegetable and flower gardening, featuring a nutrient-dense, peat-free blend that requires no synthetic fertilizers. The 1.5 cubic feet value-size bags are family and pet safe, with zero synthetic chemicals or plastic-coated fertilizers. The soil is enriched with all-purpose organic fertilizer, gypsum, dolomitic limestone, and yucca extract for professional-grade results.

  • In 2025, Back to the Roots piloted the Organic Raised Bed Mix in 50 Sam's Club stores.
  • On April 3, 2026, the brand announced the national expansion of the product to all Sam's Club locations.
