Workshops & Community Education

I offer live virtual workshops and speak at local meetings to share practical knowledge on everything from beginner composting to food waste advocacy. My goal is to empower everyone with the skills to turn their scraps into garden gold.

Composting with Chickens

See how I partner with my flock of chickens to turn food waste into nutrient-rich compost. They are my hardest workers, aerating the piles and adding natural fertilizer, a sustainable system I teach in my workshops.

The DIY Sifter Saga

Building a compost sifter from scratch has been a journey of trial and error, with countless breakdowns and redesigns. This is the real, unglamorous side of small-scale composting that I share to show what it truly takes.

The Realities of Community Composting

This is the behind-the-scenes look at the daily challenges I face, from broken-down trucks and equipment failures to navigating local regulations. I believe in being transparent about the struggles because perseverance is a key part of this work.

From Scraps to Garden Gold

This is where the magic happens. I'll show you the process of transforming community food waste into the rich, dark, finished compost that I call 'garden gold'.
