Presenters:
This workshop offers a practical, farmer-focused look at producing high-quality compost. Guided by farmers Patrick McHugh and John Rosenow, who have successfully integrated compost production into their respective operations, participants will learn about the on-farm benefits of compost. Patrick and John compare their distinct production methods—from feedstock selection and equipment choices to monitoring techniques—and how they troubleshoot common challenges. Attendees can expect to examine raw materials and finished compost, explore compost teas and potting mixes, and walk away with actionable insights they can bring back to their own farms.
