Closing the Loop in Sustainability
Cargo Food Farm’s organic compost production division plays a vital role in our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly farming practices. Composting is the process of converting organic waste materials, such as manure, crop residues, and food scraps, into nutrient-rich soil amendments. This natural recycling method not only reduces waste on the farm but also enhances soil health, boosts crop productivity, and contributes to a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
Our organic compost is used both internally, to enrich the farm’s soils, and externally, sold to local farmers, gardeners, and landscapers who seek natural alternatives to chemical fertilizers. By producing high-quality organic compost, Cargo Food Farm ensures a closed-loop farming system, where nothing goes to waste, and all resources are reused to support sustainable agriculture.
Local Economic Development
By producing and selling organic compost to local farmers and gardeners, Cargo Food Farm supports the local economy. Our compost provides a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, helping other farmers reduce input costs and improve the sustainability of their own operations. Additionally, the demand for organic products in landscaping and gardening is growing, providing a lucrative market for our compost.
