We love seeing Dan's garden come to life and are so happy our soil could play a small part in helping it grow! Here's to a great growing season ahead 💚🌱

👨‍🌾 As you might have seen in earlier stories, our fantastic Dan has been diligently tending to his garden, with the support of his dedicated staff members. 🏡
🌿A big THANK YOU goes to Cedar Grove for generously donating their premium compost soil for Dan's garden beds. With such exceptional quality soil, the vegetables are flourishing beautifully! Dan is absolutely thrilled to witness this growth, as it allows him to enjoy healthy eating!🌿

We were excited to support Kokanee Elementary School’s garden with a compost donation, and even more excited to attend their harvest day celebration! This week marked the exciting moment when students harvested the vegetables they planted and grew from seed.

The best part is the fresh veggies from the garden will be donated to the Woodinville Storehouse Food Bank. We’re proud to support hands-on learning that connect students to where food comes from while giving back to the community 🍓🥕💚

Join us on June 11 at 1:00 pm for Grow, Eat, Compost, Repeat: A Deep Dive Into Circular Farming With Compost. This webinar will feature leaders from compost manufacturing and agriculture industries as they share real-world examples of how compost supports local circular economies. ♻️🪱

Drawing from case studies in Washington state, we'll discuss practical considerations for developing successful compost/agricultural partnerships, implementing farm-based compost systems, and using compost to address on-farm environmental challenges such as stormwater runoff.

$19 for USCC members, $29 for non-members. This webinar will be recorded and made available to all registrants in a follow-up email. Hold your spot: https://bit.ly/4uRZaHZ

Thanks to our speakers from Cedar Grove, Natural Selection Farms, and Sound Sustainable Farms!

We’re proud to share that Cedar Grove President Stephan Banchero was recently honored with the John M. Fluke Sr. Award for entrepreneurial spirit and community leadership!

“Our goal as a family business is to continually pursue opportunities and invest in our community locally.” What started as a vision to keep food and yard waste out of landfills has grown into work that helps return nutrients to soils, support stormwater solutions and create more sustainable systems for our communities.

We’re grateful for the recognition and proud of the work our team continues to do every day 🚛♻️🌍
