​COMPOST. We make our own compost on the Farm (for use on the Farm only) in amounts not exceeding the statute limits of the State of Ohio Revised Code. FINISHED COMPOST may be used as a soil amendment when you plant and will be made available as supplies last. WE CANNOT MAKE OUR SUPER GOOD COMPOST FAST ENOUGH SO PLEASE HELP US! We are desperate for the following to make compost from:
Vegetable and fruit scraps and peels from your kitchen (preferable cut up
into 2” cubes or smaller )
Veggies and fruits that have “gone bad” in your fridge
Left-over cooked veggies, in water only (no sauces or butter)
Egg shells, preferable rinsed out
Nut shells
Coffee grounds (paper filters included)
Tea Bags (strings, staples & tags removed; paper teabags are fine)
Rabbit litter or back-yard chicken litter (NOTE: NO other pet litter is safe.)
PLEASE: NO PLASTIC BAGS or OTHER PLASTIC, MEAT SCRAPS, DAIRY, OILS, FAT or yard waste/weeds, grass clippings and leaves in the COMPOST!

MANURE that is well-composted or sterilized is allowed and is provided at no charge. You may not bring in manure from outside sources because of the risk of bacterial contamination (e.g., E coli).
EXTRA PRODUCE: If you have extra produce it can be donated to SCAN or the Berea Outreach.​

PLANT REFUSE: Old stalks and seedless weed stems may be used as mulch within your plots as surface compost around plants. Undesirable plant material or propagating seed heads should be disposed of by taking them home (better yet, do not let undesirable plants and weeds make seeds. Get rid of them first.). Diseased plants should be bagged up and removed from property by the gardener as we have no trash service at the farm. No old plants or dirt should be placed in the paths between plots or deposited in the trash bins or anywhere else on the property.
