The Composting Pilot was so successful that food scrap drop off is now a permanent program at the market. You can still bring by your scraps every Saturday and we will compost them for you. We are also now selling compost and will soon be selling other items like compost bins, soil blends, and compostable To-Go Packaging. A survey will be sent out in June to gather your feedback and we look forward to seeing you on a Saturday very soon. 

OUR NEW PERMANENT LOCATION ON SATURDAYS
IS RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WESTERN FACING DOORS!!
