Earth Day 2021- A Model CSA in Huntsville, AL

Earth Day is a day to raise the environmental consciousness of the nation.  Traditional service activities include litter pick-ups, tree plantings, and recycling days.  In  Huntsville, Al, recycling can now get to a granular level.   You can get involved with recycling your food scraps with Duncan Farms, a small family-owned farm with a philosophy of “taking food waste and turning it into beautiful clean food while preserving our environment and lessening our impact.”

Donavan Duncan shares their newest project with us:

Food scraps account for nearly 30% of the waste put out by most homes. Currently, this goes into landfills and causes issues ranging from increasing global warming, to poisoned groundwater.

Each week we’ll come to pick up the lining from your bucket, our fully compostable plastic bag, we’ll also swap your bucket out if needed, and give it a quick clean. You’ll earn credit each week that you’re part of our program, and can redeem that credit on our farm store – essentially turning your waste into farm-fresh food – all while helping save the world!

We’re proud to take your scraps and turn those scraps into fresh food that you can claim on our farm store. Each month you’re part of our program, you’ll receive a credit (rewarding you for your food scraps!) that’s redeemable at our farm shop.
