About Plate to Garden

The MNCC Will:
  • 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.

Plate to Garden event
The MNCC is proud to share that its Plate to Garden Compost program was featured in the May 2016 issue of BioCycle Magazine! 

Plate to Garden is a fundraiser for any organization interested in selling compost to their friends, family, and the general public.  The MNCC coordinates the delivery of compost, provides bags and equipment, and helps promote the event. The fundraising organization is responsible for selecting a delivery location for the compost, mobilizing necessary volunteers, promoting the event, and coordinating the return of borrowed supplies.
