South Fort Collins Food Scrap Composting & Farm Partnership
Compost Queen is proud to partner with Somewhere in La Mancha Farm in South Fort Collins. This woman and minority owned farm is a prime example of a working urban farm and provides educational resources for local youth.
The team at Somewhere in La Mancha embodies stewardship of the land and animals in a beneficial relationship for all. Goats, Cows, Alpacas, and over 100 Birds including Heritage Chickens and Turkeys all thrive at the farm with the love from the supporting community. The farm is a place to learn your food journey by getting your hands dirty and participating in your own discovery of the food cycle.
Compost Queen will be collecting food scraps for composting at Somewhere in La Mancha Farm, managing on site compost operations and delivering some of the bounty of the farm to curbside compost subscribers. Active aerobic composting at working farms accelerates the process of renewing carbon resources into nutrient dense soil amendments. This process closes the loop from spent carbon resources to enriching new carbon resources, starting the food cycle over again.
Grab your own 4 or 5 gallon bucket and get it ready to make a change in the world!
Fill’er up with food waste – scrape your plate! We accept meat, dairy, bones, cheese and vegetarian items. No compostable packaging please.
Bring the bucket back to the farm once you fill it up! Take a breath and enjoy the serenity before you go back to your busy life.
Dump the contents of your bucket into the receptacle at the farm. Please remove any green bags from your collection.
Lock it up and keep the combo facing out – it really helps the next customer have easy access.
Come back when your bucket is full or when you just need a break from the normal day. Keep an eye out for special farm events and goodies!
Is your green bucket full? Time to visit the farm for a drop-off.
Refreshing your bucket at our convenient drop off location only takes a few moments.
The green lid of your bucket snaps tight to lock in odors.
Our compostable bag liners help keep your bucket fresh.
Every Spring we offer customers food scrap compost to use in their lawns, house plants, home gardens or flower beds.
Want to compost right from your door? Compost Queen offers curbside pickup of food scraps on both weekly and bi-weekly plans. Service starts at $20 per month and is available in Fort Collins, Laporte and Timnath.
