Carbon Farming in La Plata County
Your trash is the earth's treasure
Your food scraps can save the planet! If everyone in the La Plata County region recycled their food scraps into compost, we could grow higher quality food and sequester carbon. As a community, we can transform our “waste” into living soil building local self-reliance and supporting people, the planet, and prosperity for everyone.
This is the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. This is not something you can like on Facebook.”
– Greta Thunberg
Benefits to YOU!
Support Local
By choosing to support local businesses like Table to Farm Compost, your buying dollars stay in the our community and you are helping to grow the La Plata County economy.
Recycle Nutrients
Growing food removes valuable nutrients from the soil. Composting returns those nutrients and living microorganisms to the soil, thus completing the cycle. This living biology is what sequesters carbon and promotes plant health.
Save The Planet
Food that decomposes in a landfill releases methane gas, a greenhouse gas 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20 year lifespan. Plus, saving food from ever making it to the landfill reduces the need for more and larger landfills.
Free Compost
Household customers are eligible to receive three, 5 gallon compost dividends annually. Additional requests of compost can be filled through our online marketplace, and Table to Farm Compost customers receive a discount on compost and artisan soil!
Member Perks
Receive first priority, on-hand batched artisan soil each spring, delivered direct to your doorstep for free. Residential customers receive 10% off 5 gallon orders and special pricing for artisan soil blended products.
