* In the past year we have gained a better idea of how much food waste our system can handle and created a recipe that gives our compost quality, allows us to reach necessary temperatures, and is finished in a timely fashion. Various carbon feedstocks (needed to balance out the nitrogen rich food scraps) have also proven to take much of our time and labor. Because of this we have learned that in order to maintain the quality and value of our product, with the responsibility we have to return compost to you, we need to adjust our membership tiers. We hope you can understand these decisions we made, it was not easy and we had many meetings for months discussing these changes but knew it was what we had to do in order for us to continue our work.
We would love your feedback! As we reach our one-year anniversary we are very excited to engage with you and re
ceive feedback to move forward. Please consider taking our survey below to help us with a few topics, including - what gets you excited about our service, the frequency of receiving compost fertilizer, and services and perks we hope to add on in the future.
