Restoring Soil. Restoring Profitability.

CHONEX transforms low-value agricultural byproducts into high-value, all-natural products that help farmers rapidly rebuild topsoil, cut input costs, and grow more resilient crops.

Michael Lynch, CEO of CHONEX

CHONEX was built by farmers for farmers.

CHONEX was founded in Rural Alabama, where we have seen firsthand how degraded soils cost farmers yields, resilience, and profitability. At CHONEX, we’re solving this challenge by creating biological inputs that restore soil health quickly. Our first product is StrongSoil®, a patented biofertilizer made from upcycled layer-hen manure. StrongSoil delivers chitin, calcium, and beneficial microbes back to the land, helping farmers regenerate topsoil, reduce dependence on synthetic inputs, and unlock long-term productivity.

Our mission: build a pipeline of regenerative soil health solutions designed to scale. This is because healthy soils mean healthy farms, stronger food systems, and a more sustainable planet.
