Hello, friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful spring. We’re busy transplanting, and this year, we’re exclusively using compost from Conservation Compost, a commercial composting operation based in Saegertown.

The company’s mission is to “divert organic materials destined for landfills into valuable, locally produced compost.”

They collect food scraps from local homes, offices, and businesses, and mix that food waste with wood chips from local tree companies. (They do not use yard waste, manure, biosolids, or industrial waste in their compost production.)

Conservation Compost is the region's first large-scale commercial composting facility.

It is a beautiful product, and we’re so excited to see the results this summer!
