A composting we will go. . .



Many ask what we do during the winter, and yes, we slow down a bit but we stay busy. One of our big tasks this winter is collecting food waste from our local Whole Foods Market to take back to the farm and add to our growing compost pile. By growing our compost pile, we in turn grow our access to natural fertility. When the pile breaks down and is ready for application we will apply it to our fields, and thus add N-P-K and organic material to our soil. In the end, it should help make even more beautiful vegetables!

Here's us with a big load of food waste headed to load up the truck.
