Farm Visit and Composting Workshop. Farm owner Bob Gilbey gives an in-depth workshop on large-scale composting on a working farm that can be applied to small-scale composting.


Bob will describe the basics of composting chemistry and what a composting process needs in order to be successful, and help folks address particular challenges in their setup.

This workshop is open to a limited group of twelve participants. Please RSVP to receive confirmation and directions to the farm.
