Happy International Compost week!

Compost plays an important role in sustainable food systems by returning nutrients to the soil and helping grow healthier crops. Reducing food waste and composting closes the loop and supports a more resilient food system.

Thank you so much to Biobag for this amazing shout-out! We've now topped 54,000 lbs diverted from our landfills and turned into compost!

Meet our May Community Hero: Windy Hill Compost! With the 'fourth' of food waste diversion, they have prevented 48,000 pounds of food waste from entering our landfills—and counting.

Through curbside service and free drop-off sites, they’re making composting accessible across western Iowa. Proof that local action can create lasting change. 🌱

Great info on the financial and environmental impact of wasted food

Wasted food is a financial and environmental bummer. It costs the average person $728 per year, and it amounts to about the same planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions every year as 42 coal-fired power plants.

Today's activities, picking up Milk & Honey food waste to turn into compost, delivering finished, screened compost to a customer and adding Exira elementary school food waste to the pile! Beautiful weather while doing so is the reward!

Decided to get back into vermicomposting! Worm castings make both great compost tea and top dressing for soil plus the kiddos love seeing the worms in action. Thanks to Uncle Jim's Worm Farm for 2500 red wigglers
