Community Composting Program Orientation

We are excited to announce the launch of our Community Composting Program at Zahra Ecological Farm! This initiative aims to reduce waste and create nutrient-rich compost for our farm, and we need your help to make it a success.

How You Can Participate:

• Collecting Food Scraps: Each family will receive a 5-gallon bin to fill with food scraps throughout the week. Acceptable food scraps include vegetable and fruit peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, eggshells, and non-greasy food scraps. (Please avoid meat, dairy, oily foods, and processed foods.)

• Drop-off Schedule: Drop off your filled bins every Sunday at the Rhoda or Farm. You will receive a clean bin to take home for the next week.

• Composting Process: We will layer the food scraps with wood mulch (carbon source) to create a balanced compost pile. Our goal is to collect about 13-14 bins of food scraps each week to maintain a healthy compost system.

Benefits of Participation:

• Reduce waste and support sustainable farming practices.
• Learn about composting and contribute to the health of our farm.
• Be a part of our growing community focused on regenerative practices.

Please confirm your participation by RSVP'ing to this meeting. If you can't make the orientation, no worries, we will follow up.
