Compost Fair

Celebrate spring's arrival by stopping by the Compost Fair for a guaranteed good time! This year's fair will be in conjunction with the 4H Duck Race. Admission is FREE to both events and open to the public.

There will be information and demonstrations of beginning and advanced compost techniques, continuous tours of our demonstration site, live music, activities for kids and a compost cafe. Several partner organizations and sustainability groups will be joining us. All attendees will be eligible to win fabulous compost prizes. Compost bins (Earth Machines, welded wire cylinder and worm compost bins) will be for sale while supplies last. Go home a composter! Contact Adam at acm1@cornell.edu or 272-2292 x 124 for further information!
