3 years ago we started a food waste collection program at Yellow Barn. I ran around to all the Home Depots and got them to donate 150 buckets to our cause, and there was the start of our first circular system.
The compost program is a micro-business we operate, where our community pays a monthly fee to support us driving out to their home to swap their bucket weekly. Many members sign up for egg subscriptions and order other goods from the Stalk Market, which we then deliver on-route!
The food scraps come back to the farm to feed our pigs (and piglets 😍), or used as a feedstock in our ASP compost pile.
The pigs churn and fertilize the soil, and the finished compost is layered in before planting.
Eventually, all the fruits, veggies, and flowers that grow from that soil can be delivered to our members.
I very much envision a time not too long from now where when our members first sign up for the annual farm membership get half their dues credited back to them in Bitcoin, which they can use at the market, for events, or to tip their farmers.
The farmhands can then be paid in Bitcoin, pay their rent in Bitcoin, and sell their products or crafts to the community and receive Bitcoin. The goal would be to help everyone in our community actually SEE the energy circulate through the ecosystem. And that kind of transparency creates quite a bit of awareness and empowerment for all parties involved in the circularity.
More to come 🐷
