Producing Eggs Year ‘Round On Compost Without Purchased Grain & NOFAvore Social (NOFA-VT Summer Workshop Series Event)

Pre-registration requested for NOFAvore social. Please pre-register by calling or emailing the NOFA office, or online.

Vermont Compost Company was founded and supported by organic crop-growing professionals to meet the need for high quality composts and compost-based, living soil mixes for certified organic plant production. Integrated into this production is an innovative system that provides chickens with foraging opportunities to produce eggs along with compost. Come join us for an afternoon with Karl Hammer, founder of Vermont Compost, as he gives a tour of the farm and discusses the different enterprises that are intertwined. Following the workshop, there will be a community dinner with the NOFA pizza oven.
