About Plate to Garden
The MNCC Will:
The Organization Must:
- Arrange for finished compost to be delivered from the nearest
compost site - Provide bags to fill with compost
- Provide event signage and safety tools
- Provide educational materials for hosting organizations
- Distribute materials to customers
The Organization Must:
- Find volunteers to help fill bags of compost on the day of the event
- Promote the event to the community
- Set their purchase price and manage sales
- Pay for the compost, delivery and bags used following the event
The MNCC developed the Plate to Garden program to complete the loop of growing food, eating food, and turning food scraps back into soil to grow food again.
Plate to Garden Compost provides community organizations, schools, and others the opportunity to raise money for their organization or a charity while educating citizens about the benefits of composting and using finished compost.

By delivering compost in bulk, customers get to see and feel the product prior to purchasing it. Plate to Garden Compost is a win-win for community organizations and the environment!
Plate to Garden Compost Bags
We are currently in the process of sourcing a new bag for our Plate to Garden events.
In the past, we have used plastic, which has been economical and convenient but not environmentally friendly.
We will post more information as soon as it becomes available. We encourage host organizations
to recommend that those wanting to receive compost bring their own container.
