Happy Earth Day!!
Farm-fresh fruits and veggies are perfect for composting. Many markets even offer composting education or resources to help you get started.
Composting is one of the easiest ways to reduce waste and give back to the earth—right from your own kitchen.
Composting basics made simple:
🥬 What you can compost: fruit & veggie scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, leaves, and yard waste
🍂 Balance is key: mix “greens” (food scraps) with “browns” (dry leaves, paper, cardboard)
💧 Keep it slightly moist: think damp, not soggy
🌬️ Give it air: turn your compost every so often to help it break down faster
What to avoid: meat, dairy, oily foods, and anything heavily processed
In just a few weeks, those scraps turn into nutrient-rich soil your plants will love. Less waste in the landfill, more goodness for your garden—it’s a win-win.
Stop by the market and learn more about composting, sustainable living, and how small changes can make a big impact.
