Meet Herb Young

Squeeze Citrus

Herb Young is a regenerative citrus farmer and educator at Squeeze Citrus in South Georgia. He combines research, testing, personal experience, and real-world grove examples to explain the relationship between soil, microbes, farming, food, and human health.

Why Nutrient Density Matters

Food can look the same on the surface while containing very different levels of beneficial nutrients and plant compounds. Herb Young explores the connection between soil growing methods and the nutritional value reaching our plates.

THE COURSE BEGINS IN THE SOIL

Go Beyond the Nutrition Label

Most conversations about nutrition begin after food has already been harvested. The Nutrient Density Blueprint begins in the soil. Through approachable lessons, scientific research, laboratory analysis, taste comparisons, practical farming methods, and real-world experience from the Squeeze Citrus grove, Herb Young explores the relationship between living soil, microbes, plant health, growing practices, flavor, food quality, and human health. Whether you are a consumer seeking better food, a gardener, a grower, or someone interested in regenerative agriculture, this course will help you see nutrient density from the soil up.

Inside The Nutrient Density Blueprint

Explore 38 concise video lessons and resources covering soil biology, microbes, plant health, regenerative agriculture, flavor, food quality, laboratory testing, and human health. Each section combines approachable education, scientific research, and real-world experience from the Squeeze Citrus grove.

Curious Food Buyers

Build a better framework for understanding where food comes from and making more informed purchasing decisions.

You do not need to be a farmer or scientist to benefit from this course. Herb presents complex ideas in an approachable way using research, visual evidence, practical examples, and lessons from the Squeeze Citrus grove.

REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE

Learn From the Grove

At Squeeze Citrus, nutrient density is not simply a marketing phrase. It shapes how we think about soil, plants, farming, and the food we grow. Our family has spent years studying regenerative agriculture, soil biology, citrus production, plant health, growing methods, and the relationship between farming practices and food quality. The Nutrient Density Blueprint brings together scientific research, laboratory analysis, practical experience, and lessons learned directly from the Squeeze Citrus grove.

Research and Testing

Explore laboratory analysis, DNA testing, SAP results, penetrometer findings, plant-growth indicators, and other evidence used throughout the course.

Practical Grove Experience

See how regenerative planting methods, soil management, microbes, foliar applications, and biological systems are applied in a working citrus grove.

Successes and Failures

Herb shares successful experiments, conventional failures, unexpected results, and the lessons that helped shape the way Squeeze Citrus farms today.

Healthy Soil and Roots

A closer look at the biological systems supporting plant health below the surface.

Testing and Observation

Research, analysis, and field observations help connect farming practices with measurable plant responses.

Regenerative Citrus Production

Real examples from a working grove show how regenerative principles are applied over time.

The goal is not to overwhelm students with technical terminology. The goal is to help people better understand the systems that produce their food and why those systems matter.
