• Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place to drop off your leaves?
  
  
• Wouldn't it be nice if our local organic farm could sustain itself with soil amendments?
  
  
• Wouldn't it be nice if local vegetable food waste had a place for recycling?

Well you now can!  With the help of Natural Resource Council of Maine, we built a compost facility at the farm late 2008 summer.  Local community members can drop off their leaves and St. Joseph's College of Standish bring over their vegetable food waste.

We have a Composting Corps to help us, with the bulk of their work being to collect leaves.

Creating compost will provide us with needed inputs for our community garden sites as well as enriching the soil at the farm.

Want to help?  Want to donate?  Let us know and also take a tour this summer.
