EPA Helps Set Up Food Composting Project On Bucks County Farm

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Institute for Local Self-Reliance Mid-Atlantic Consortium of Recycling and Economic Development Officials and an expert on composting food waste on farms, met with farmers and other personnel at the Snipes Farm in Morrsiville, Bucks County, to help set up a composting program,

The farm owners are interested in expanding their composting operation to include food waste and other organics to fertilize their farms. Presently they are purchasing compost from Delaware Valley College. EPA representatives provided information on how to get started, how to work with producers of food waste and other aspects of setting up their operations.
