Waste Wise Farm Tour |
Visit the Jepson Prairie Organics facility, where the materials deposited in San Francisco's green bins are made into compost. We will tour the operations and find out how our paper plates, napkins, and food scraps become a valuable resource for farms and gardens. Then Farmer Nigel Walker will take us on a guided tour of nearby Eatwell Farm, where he enriches the soil with loads and loads of compost from Jepson Prairie. Eatwell Farm is certified organic and produces vegetables, herbs, lavender, and strawberries, sold at farmers markets and through a community-supported agriculture program. The tour costs $25 and includes a delicious lunch made from farmers' market foods. Tickets are nonrefundable. We will leave and return to the Ferry Building in a comfortable bus. We sincerely thank our Farm Tour Sponsor, First National Bank of Northern California, for underwriting tour costs and Coach 21 for providing a discount on the bus charter fee.
