Our compost facility is a great place for your food waste to end up, but it’s even better if food never becomes waste at all. Produce gleaning is a great practice where ambitious individuals find fruit and vegetables that would otherwise rot on the vine and put it to good use. Farm to Pantry does just that. In addition, Farm to Pantry hosts community gardens to help feed those in need. Cold Creek Compost happily donated some compost to help their community gardens thrive. If you’re feeling generous, you might consider donating as well. I hear they love volunteers, too…

Compostable Plastics are Tricky
July 9, 2024
Have you ever found yourself confused when you’re standing at a garbage can with recycling, trash, and compost compartments? We don’t blame you. Some green film plastic bags are compostable, and some are green but no more compostable than your water bottle. And to make matters even more complicated, some of those “compostable” bags are […]
Donkey Day Care
April 10, 2024
Have you ever wondered why you don’t see lonely homeless donkeys walking the streets of Mendocino County? It’s because of the kind-hearted folks at Oscar’s Place.
