Join us Tuesday, March 19 at 7:00pm at South Roanoke Methodist Church Community Room. Our guest presenter is Davey Rogner Stewards from Star City Compost. Following his presentation, we will hold a brief business meeting when we have lots of details on upcoming events including neighborhood tree plantings and our first annual spring yard sale!
From the Star City Compost website: Star City Compost LLC is creating quality, fertile compost and compost products for gardeners, landscapers, and farmers in the Roanoke Valley by coordinating the area’s only food waste and organics recycling program at our permitted compost facility.
Star City Compost LLC envisions a Roanoke valley where all people are able to divert their organic food waste into composting programs that create resources for the local community. The long-term success of sustainable agriculture in this region demands that we recycle the nutrients from organic materials usually thrown into the landfill so that these nutrients – the building blocks of life – are used on our local farms, as well as household and community gardens.
We envision an economy in the Roanoke Valley that thrives because of people’s commitment to stewarding and building local, community owned ecological resources. Our compost facility is an engine to empower the fertility of gardens and farms in and around Roanoke. As a cornerstone business in The Harvest Collective, we are supporting the formation of a community-based regenerate agriculture cooperative system.
