Pick up free compost for your gardens at Alameda Point. Big shout out to Farm2Market and Makerfarm for all their hard work in getting the compost hub started.
Important information – please read everything below:
- Access to the Compost Hub is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 AM – 5 PM.
- Folks can enter through Farm2Market on Barbers Point Road or Makerfarm on Main Street.
- Parking is best outside of Makerfarm on Main St. There are signs showing where to park. No cars can pull inside either site, always park outside the farms.
- Please keep all gates securely closed to prevent Makerfarm animals from leaving the farm!
- People need to bring their own buckets, bags, tarps, or whatever tools they’ll use to transport compost.
- Visitors are responsible for loading their own compost and are welcome to take as much as they can safely transport.
- There are reusable burlap bags at the compost hub for people to use if they forget containers or need more, please return burlap bags timely so they can be reused!
- It is highly recommended that people read the on-site resources about using compost.
- Upon arrival, visitors need to complete these items on their phone via QR code or URL:
- A Makerfarm waiver form, only the first time you visit.
- A 1-2 minute online survey, every time you take from the compost hub.
