A BIG THANK YOU Growing Supply and to you all who purchased from our 2026 fundraiser. Your partnership this year raised us over $220 in just a few weeks! Next year we plan to "grow" this fundraiser even more. See what we did there? ;)

Have a wonderful start to the gardening season and add a note in your calendar to buy your compost, soil and more through our collaborative fundraiser in Spring 2027!

We were SO grateful to host this group from Liberty Mutual Insurance on Wednesday with their annual volunteer event! This crew moved things, scrubbed things and defrosted things (and more!) and they were a joy to work with! THANK YOU!!!

We are grateful to have relationships with local farmers who use our leftover food for their animals! Reducing our food waste is one way we care for our community.

Today, April 29, is Stop Food Waste Day, a global initiative to end food waste.

Food waste and scraps are the No. 1 waste sent to Wisconsin landfills. Not only does this waste take up valuable space in our landfills and create greenhouse gas emissions when it breaks down, it also represents wasted money. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that food waste costs the average U.S. consumer more than $700 per year – and that only grows with higher grocery prices.

Small steps lead to big changes when it comes to stopping food waste. Whether it’s transforming leftovers into a new meal, using your freezer or getting creative with ingredient substitutions, let us know your favorite way to stop food waste!
