Composting with Slow Food New Orleans

Slow Food New Orleans is picking up vegetable waste from 1,000 Figs and Cafe Degas and mixing it with the bags of leaves left along the streets of Faubourg St. John to make rich compost and soil for the Slow Food Garden.   We make these runs twice a week and can always use help, both with the composting and working the garden.  Please contact Gary Granata if you are interested in volunteering to reduce neighborhood waste to make rich soil and grow some delicious Good, Clean & Fair Food.
