A Thanksgiving Letter from PJC

As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, PJC is pausing to reflect on the journey we’ve traveled. From humble beginnings, to where we stand today, we express our heartfelt gratitude to you: our customers and community.

From a Family Decision to a Shared Mission

What began in 2001 as a life-changing decision by founder Fred to step away from the IT world, became the seed for something greater. In 2002, PJC & Company (Ecological Land Care, Inc.) launched as a family-owned landscape provider specializing in organic fertilization for residential properties on Boston’s North Shore. From those first lawns, our commitment to environmental stewardship and all-natural products took root. 

Growth Through Innovation and Purpose

As our work in landscaping evolved, we recognized a greater need for authentic, effective organic products. In 2005, PJC began distributing what was then known as Renaissance Fertilizers.

By 2007, we had purchased the manufacturing rights to those fertilizers, expanding our reach beyond service into creating solutions for landscapers, schools, and municipalities.

In the years since, our product line evolved. In 2017 we introduced our first soil-amendment, then in 2018 we rebranded to PJC ProHealthy Turf. By 2019, our 6-0-6 & 8-0-6 All-Natural Fertilizers earned an OMRI-listing — a milestone that affirmed our dedication to organic integrity.

Today, we don’t just sell products. We work directly with our customers to share knowledge, listen to their experiences, and build tailored organic turf-care programs. Wherever possible, we shorten supply chains to reduce waste, support local business identity, and prioritize sustainable practices.

We’re Thankful For You!

• For your trust. Choosing organic turf care often means choosing a path less traveled. Your trust allowed us to grow, test, refine, and expand our offerings.
• For your loyalty. Many of you have been with us for years; some since the very early days. PJC customer loyalty helps us stay true to our mission.
• For your feedback and collaboration. Through conversations, soil tests, and shared insights, we’ve improved together. Your input shapes our products and services.
• For becoming part of the PJC community. Whether you’re a landscaper, school, or municipality — each of you contributes to a larger movement of environmental care, sustainability, and responsible land stewardship.
  

Looking Ahead

As we prepare for the next season, our vision remains rooted in stewardship, innovation, and human connection. We’re committed to:

• Continuing to develop and deliver organic products that meet high standards of safety, effectiveness, and integrity.
• Supporting our customers with education, transparency, and real-world testing through our organic fertilization division.
• Strengthening relationships and fostering a community that values the earth as much as the lawns we nourish.

Above all, we look forward to growing alongside you.
