We recently got a donation from Pheobe Wagoner, daughter of David Wagoner and Arwen Donahue. I asked her to explain why she wanted to support our work and here is her response:
I chose to donate $55.00 to Seedleaf because I think they do good service , and I think that having good food to eat is important. Also, their operating budget is pretty low, so $55.00 would make a difference.
Peace to earth! Eat good food!
Your friend,[and helper]

We couldn’t have said this any better. We appreciate Pheobe and all of our donors–you are helping us make a difference.

What a great year we have completed! Below are some numbers for the Compost Partners Program, numbers that represent a lot of hard work by our staff and volunteers, as well as our participating kitchens. We begin the new year picking up at 17 locations and process the kitchen waste at 7 of our gardens.
This update shows some of the good things happening through the Compost Partners Program. Please tell our partner kitchens that you are glad they are taking the extra time to separate their scraps and make part of their waste stream available to us each week! Also, please help yourself to finished compost at one bin at Third Street Stuff—the label promises that the contents are “Ready for the Garden”.

We had another productive month in November, though our pickups are down a bit, probably due to the holiday. We continue to pick up at 17 locations and are glad to have access to all this compostable material through the fall and winter. This will set us up to have plenty of valuable soil amendment ready for our spring planting.

Also, stay tuned for a Master Community Composter Training we are planning to offer in the early spring. Email me at ryan@seedleaf.org if you are interested in hearing more about this 6-week course that will prepare you for home composting and go a long way towards taking the “ick” out of dealing with kitchen waste.

If you see a green bin at one of the above locations with a label that says “Ready for the Garden,” please help yourself to this finished compost—there is no charge for this.
