Community Compost Drop-Off Initiative

Thanks to a $10k donation from LocalShops1 Shopapalooza Festival, we launched our Community Compost Initiative. We've transformed our excess buckets into compost collection buckets for community members to store food scraps for drop-off* at the farm.

If you're interested in participating, please complete the sign-up form at the link below.

*Drop-off link is for those dropping off buckets at the farm (must be completed every time).  If you're an organization or pantry dropping off, please complete the organization drop-off form below.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I drop off my food scraps?

24/7! We have a locked storage box that holds clean buckets, when you sign up you get the code to access the buckets and we ask that filled buckets are left under the table or off to the right side.

Our open hours during Spring/Fall are:
Monday - Thursday, 3:00pm - 6:00pm*
Mondays 6:00pm - 7:00pm*

Summer hours:
Monday - Thursday, 8:30am - 2:00pm*
Mondays 6:00pm - 7:00pm*
*These hours may change due to holidays, all updated hours are announced to signed-up composters

How often should I drop off my food scraps?

At your convenience. You can drop it off once a week or once a month. If you create a lot of food scraps and your bucket gets full, feel free to drop it off once that happens! Please do not drop off food scraps that have been left over for over a month. This is important as we have to maintain certain standards of safety.

I haven't picked up my bucket yet, but I filled out the interest form. When can I pick it up?

You can pick up whenever you like! If you have not received an email with information, please email [email protected]

Are weekend drop offs available?

You can drop off your compost and pick up a new bucket at your convenience from the bin outside the farm.
