Inspired by farmers, built for all producers. Tools to streamline production and simplify your organic certification paperwork.

Quick Organics was born in early 2020 with a diverse team ranging in expertise- software design, client success managers and a group of subject matter experts.

In 2013, motivated by a boyhood dream, our founder Greg Schreiner purchased a set of certified organic farms located in Wellington, Colorado. The properties had been organic for over 30 years. Intending to keep the farms legacy organic, Greg soon discovered the daunting process of organic certification and paperwork. Overwhelmed and flooded with questions, Greg and his team went to work organizing records and building spreadsheets to track data. He hired an office administrator whose sole job was to create a system to track all of the required data and keep all farm records.

Throughout the years, Greg often wondered how he could help other organic operations with this intimidating year-round process. In late 2019, he started to envision building a cloud-based software program to be used by other producers to maintain the organic integrity of their operations.

Processes were established to record field level data, input documentation and their use, harvest and planting records, fertility plan data, pest and weed control methods. Over the years, the system grew into a complex network of multiple spreadsheets, files and documents and their records became impeccable. The annual renewals and on-site inspections weren’t just manageable, the trust and reliance on the data made this process quick and painless.

The program would also help in establishing processes that would assist them in maintaining sufficient documentation so that their certification process would be easier.

Our program will be the answer to all your frustrations. Enjoy the process, we look forward to working with you!

Wild River is a grower/shipper of kiwifruit, stone fruit, and citrus.

The farm has been downsized from 4,000 acres to 4 acres. It also includes a vastly reduced research project and small orchard.

The Research Center strives to explore cutting-edge ideas on the high plains of Montana. It is located on the Quinn Organic Farm in Big Sandy, Montana, within the famed Golden Triangle. The experiments are conducted on small acreage in an effort to determine how a farm family can make a comfortable living on fewer acres. Current experiments include oilseeds for fuel and lubricants, storage and fresh vegetables, crop rotations, green manures, and weed management.

The Quinn Institute stands as a testament to the enduring power of organic and regenerative agriculture. Established by Bob Quinn, a visionary 4th generation farmer, author, renowned scientist, and passionate advocate for sustainable farming, our institute is the culmination of a lifetime spent in the pursuit of harmonizing agriculture with nature.

We believe that food is not just a means of sustenance but a path to healing both people and the planet. At The Quinn Institute, we embody Bob's philosophy that "food is medicine," and we work tirelessly to produce nutrient-dense food through methods that honor the earth and its inhabitants.

The mission of The Quinn Institute is ambitious yet simple: to scale up the number of successful regenerative organic producers and demonstrate that agriculture can be both profitable and a force for good. Through research, education, and practical demonstrations, we aim to lead by example, showing that the health of our communities and the planet is intertwined with the health of our farms.

The campus covers approximately 700 acres of donated land, previously part of the Quinn Farm & Ranch that has been in a regenerative organic agricultural system and certified organic for over 25 years. It is 12 miles Southeast of Big Sandy in North Central Montana between the Bear’s Paw Mountains and the Missouri River Breaks formally on the indigenous lands of the Blackfeet, Nakota, and Assiniboine Tribes. It is representative of the short grass prairie of the Northern Great Plains East of the Rocky Mountains encompassing large parts of eastern Montana, the western Dakotas, smaller distinct portions of Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, as well as Southern Saskatchewan and Southeast Alberta – together roughly the size of the entire state of California. The primary area represented and served by this research center covers parts of 6 states and 2 Canadian Provinces.

The campus will be divided into multiple fields to demonstrate the effect of rotations on cash crops, cover crops, unusual crops, as well as interrelationships of livestock with both native pasture and crop land. Rented acres from a bordering non-organic farm will allow experiments comparing organic and non-organic systems. Areas for small replicated plots will also be available.

Small gardens and orchards will provide opportunities to learn management and production skills. A teaching kitchen and small processing facilities will provide a place to teach participants how to take the food from the field or garden to the plate providing students with many learning opportunities for preparing and preserving their own food. Local health practitioners will help ensure the purpose of healthy food is complete by prescribing it to those suffering from all types of chronic and mental disease. Thus, prescriptions will be food from the farm rather than pills from the pharmacy. In this way we may have food as medicine rather than pills as food.
