“We love turning our garden trash into treasure. All the Farm’s organic waste is transformed on-site and the compost goes back into our soil. The compost area at the Farm includes a row of bays for receiving green waste from the gardens, and with a row of bays where the compost is cooked or still cooking. About four times a year we make a hot pile with garden waste, manure, a microbiological brew, water and air. We love sharing our composting skills and it’s a heap of fun. Watch our events page for compost days.”
