Why Compost?
Over 48 million people in the US are considered to be food insecure.
Tidewater Compost strives to positively impact our environment and improve our local food systems through healthy living soils. Our table to farm initiative helps divert organic waste from landfills to close the food loop, while improving the soils in our communities.
