Happy to have presented at ’s Farm to Fork conference! 🤠👍

My workshop was titled “Fork to Farm: the Worm Stars of Vermicomposting” and gave an in-depth introduction to vermicompostjng and my process.

It’s always great to meet new people and convert them to worm lovers. Plus, every new composter means less food being sent to the landfills!

⚡️🪱 The Wormobile 🪱⚡️

To put it mildly, our “electric garbage truck” is hands down the best garbage truck in the state of Wyoming.

We often get asked about our “Tesla with a trailer” while doing our compost runs. It’s a great opportunity to connect with community members and tell them about our compost mission.

Plus, the funny looks we get from other drivers never get old! 🤠

But in all seriousness, the Wormobile™️ is powered by 100% renewable energy provided by , and . This incredible resource helps us safe on fuel cost and reduce our carbon footprint.

A big shoutout to these awesome groups who are helping our community transition to a fully electric vehicle future 💚

Compostable liners are HERE! 🤠🪣

After a lot of research, we have decided to introduce compostable liners to our curbside service. These liners are 100% compostable in our composting process. Here’s why we made the switch :

1️⃣ Hand washing the buckets of all our members each week was our biggest water usage source. By using liners, we will be able to conserve our water.

2️⃣ Compost is a dirty and smelly business! These liners will help us deliver a cleaner and better smelling experience each week to our members.

3️⃣ With less time going towards hand washing buckets, we can focus on expanding and improving our compost service and operations.

We will continue to swap our members buckets each week, and wash any buckets that need cleaning 🧼

We are excited to roll out this experiment to our memebers, and will continue to always look for ways where we can improve our service.

Feed the soil, not the landfill! 🪴 🪱

Spotted in the streets of Jackson this morning! 🤠👍

We’re all about worms, but we love mushrooms, too! 🤠🍄

Today we opened our pre-compost bin for the first time in three weeks and were thrilled to find lots of fungal activity helping breakdown the food scraps.

Along with earthworms, fungi are nature’s natural decomposers. They release enzymes that break down organic matter and help return nutrients to the soil. We are thankful for their help 👍

Do you love fungi, too? Let us know your favorite fungus species in the comments!👇

Our members PROPERLY disposing of their produce stickers is a beautiful thing!

Produce stickers are by far the biggest source of contamination we see in our members’ compost buckets. That’s why we tried out a new strategy… our PRODUCE STICKER CARDS 💳

Peel your produce stickers and put them on your card. Once filled with stickers, throw your card in the garbage. We will provide you with a new card every few weeks!

Remember, produce stickers are PLASTIC and do not compost. They should be banned all-together from grocery stores, but until that glorious day comes, help us keep them out of our worm bin by peeling them, putting them on your PRODUCE STICKER CARD, and then throwing it out in the trash 🤠👍

🪱The Worm Reactor🪱

Our new worm bin will be able to process a little under 100lbs of food waste per week, and produce roughly 80lbs of worm castings in the same time.

Not only is it pretty, but it’s also very practical and will allow us to be more efficient in our composting process.

It’s all part of our mission to “feed the soil, not the landfill”🤠

Our electric “garbage truck” is really helping us overcome these CRAZY gas prices⚡️

We are still small scale, so towing a trailer with our Tesla still works well for our operation. However, as we scale, our goal is to use only 100% electric trucks (hurry up, Cybertruck!) powered by clean, renewable energy.

There are so many advantages to using EVs, and we want to lead the charge in our community, which has been slow to warm up to electric cars. Not only do we reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but we are saving significantly on fuel costs. Not to mention the incredible performance of our car, even when towing compost around Jackson Hole.

We often get asked how we claim to be a “zero-emission” compost company. Our cars produce zero-emissions while driving, and we charge using fully renewable energy.

One of our company’s main objectives is to help our planet by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. If we drove around gas guzzling cars while picking up compost, we would be going against our goal.

We would love to talk to anyone who is interested in going electric, either for personal use or commercial operations! 🤠👍

A fresh tower of clean buckets dries out after being washed 🪣 🪱

All of our buckets are hand washed and sanitized before every swap. It’s part of our commitment to deliver the best and cleanest experience for our customers!

Take a look at the BIG numbers our members put up in May! 🤠👏

🐛14 new members started composting

🐛 We diverted almost 300lbs more waste from the landfill than last month

🐛 An increase 200lbs CO2 greenhouse gas equivalents prevented from escaping into the atmosphere

Thank you to our community who is helping us increase our impact month over month. You are the real sustainable heroes of our community! ❤️🪱
