As the temperature drops and the days grow shorter, our bodies crave warm, hearty meals packed with nutrients. One of the best ways to nourish ourselves in the colder months is by incorporating root vegetables and tubers into our diets.

At Three Rivers Market, we’re all about sustainability, and that includes finding good homes for our compost! If you’re interested in picking up compost for your garden, here’s what you need to know.

How It Works

✔️ No need to bring your own container—we’ll provide one! Just be sure to return it by the next day.
✔️ Take as much or as little as you need, within reason when available.

Fair Use Guidelines

To ensure everyone gets a chance to benefit from our compost, we’re limiting pick-ups to 1-2 containers per person for now. If more people begin using the program regularly, we’ll work out a fair system for distribution.
