CompostNow Facility Tour

  • CompostNow Douglasville Facility 6950 Post Road Winston, GA, 30187 United States (map)

Join Food Well Alliance on a tour of CompostNow's Georgia Facility! In 2017, CompostNow started their facility on a 70-acre farm owned by King of Pops. The facility processes 200 tons of food scraps from around metro Atlanta each month that would otherwise go to landfills and transforms it into compost used by local growers. In fact, Food Well Alliance's Farm compost deliveries are supplied by the compost created at this facility.

Through this tour, we'll get an inside look at how compost is produced at a large scale as well as the tools and processes they use. The tour is open to farmers, gardeners and anyone interested in learn more about compost.

Visit CompostNow.org to learn more about their operations.
