Meet The Dream Team

We compost in all 4 seasons 
We do it for the right reasons
And yes we make it look easy
Even though food scraps can make you queasy
It can get harder than you think
So be careful when you blink
This can affect you physically and mentally 
But you will see a lot of smiles eventually 
Every week for six weeks keep turning it
Everyday for 5 days we do well in this
Food scraps, garden waste and wood shavings are all part of the recipe 
So that our compost can become our therapy 
Wearing black and blue isn’t just an identity 
Once you bleed and sweat these colors, you’re now part of our legacy.
Sustainability, that’s our mission
Help us put these problems into submission.
