Curious about diversifying your farm enterprises without breaking the bank? Want to hear from a local dairy farmer how accessing the right grants and scaling up over time led to converting nearly 800 tons of community foodscraps into nutrient-rich compost per year and generating free electricity on the side?
Join the Caledonia County Conservation District on a tour of Kingdom View Compost Thursday, Sept. 14 from 10am – noon. Led by owner and Certified Organic Dairy Farmer Eric Paris of Tamarlane Farm, we’ll take an in-depth look at composting as an opportunity to take your waste management to the next level. Brian Jerose from Agrilab Technologies and representatives from the VAAFM Agricultural Residuals Management Program and the VT ANR Solid Waste Management Program will also be on hand to offer in-depth advice on Compost Aeration and Heat Recovery (CAHR) System design, permitting, sourcing grants, connecting with municipal waste divisions, marketing to consumers, and more!
