Spring Finished Compost Gift-Back

Our 2024 Finished Compost Gift-Back has ended. It was great to see so many of the customers and owners in our composting community! Thank you to Sketchbook Brewing Company for donating grain bags to the event.

Each spring, we offer 10 free gallons of finished compost to our customers and 20 free gallons to our co-op owners at what we’ve named our Spring Finished Compost Gift-Back. We partner with our colleagues in the local composting and farming community to provide this gift.

This compost, packed with microorganisms and fungi, is ready for any type of crop, your garden, or soil rehabilitation project! Mix it with 30–50% of another soil blend or apply 1–2 inches on top of the existing soil.

  • receive 10 gallons of finished compost for free! Customers and can also purchase additional finished compost at a rate of $5 per 5 gallons. Become an Owner to receive an additional 10 free gallons!
