Celebrate “culture” in agriculture & share skills like growing, cooking, canning
Recycle discarded produce to make low cost compost and reduce the waste stream.
Has anyone recycled discarded produce from supermarkets and maybe even restaurants to use as a source of compost? I was considering this as one of our projects to develop the compost for our bucket brigade and maybe even resale as a fund raiser at our local farmers market and maybe if viable, as a small cottage industry for my NPO.

There is also something similar in the Washington D.C. area which does pick up from restaurants I believe... http://compostcab.com/

John, it's not the same thing, but we have a company here in Boston called Bootstrap Compost that picks up city folks' kitchen scraps and turns it into compost. I imagine they could also pick up from supermarkets and groceries, so it may be a helpful model for you to check out. Good luck!
