Description

Join us for a community compost build. We will combine food scraps from our community compost drop-off with an equal amount of "browns" (carbon-rich material). We will also aerate the pile by turning material with pitchforks and shovels. Volunteers will help empty bins of food scraps, remove contaminants (plastics and other non-compostable items) and chop large materials. Please note that we are requiring you to provide a cell phone/phone number to reach you. We will use this to contact you the day-of the event to ensure it's happening especially in the case of inclement weather. We are accepting donations for all of our events and work days this season. Your support helps our programs including paying for educators and supplies. ♥ If you have questions, please contact Tori (email: [email protected]). ~ Directions for getting to Tivoli Community Farm: Our Farm location is located in the baseball field next to the former Livingston Middle School (now the Livingston Apartments). There are two parking options: 1. Go as far as you can, past the dead end at the end of Wilkins Avenue (one-way off Livingston Avenue), and park near the gate in front of you. Please note there are a limited number of spots. 2. Use the former Livingston Middle School parking lot, on McCrossin Avenue. This is the one-way street that goes along the left of the old Livingston school, now Livingston Apartments. Park all the way to the rear of the lot, then walk across the grassy field to the gate at the left corner of the chain-link fence.
