Two Particular Acres –
Royersford, Pennsylvania
Ned Foley, a Pennsylvania attorney, was intrigued with farming
which lead to a career in composting. Utilizing the turned
windrow method of composting for years, Ned learned about
O2Compost and the work that we were doing on farms around
the country. At this point in time, Ned was composting paunch
waste from a local rendering plant along with other imported
agricultural waste products. His system has grown and diversified
over the years to the point where now he is also composting
food waste from Whole Foods Grocery. Selling all of the compost
that he can produce, Ned is considered a leader in the composting
industry and "Two Particular Acres" is considered
a model for on-farm composting for both agricultural and municipal
organic by-products. |
