The Institute for a Sustainable Environment has been working with Whitten Family Farm in Winthrop, NY to establish a local community-scale food waste management program.
WHITTEN FAMILY FARM
Whitten Family Farm, located at 1101 County Route 49 in Winthrop, NY, is a family owned farm that runs a CSA Program, sells Garden Seedling & Seed Packages, and has recently expanded their farm to become a community composting facility starting in May of 2022.

COMPOSTING AT WHITTEN FAMILY FARM
The Whitten Family Farm will be using an aerated windrow composting technique. This means that the piles of compost will be manually aerated or turned.
The farm will be constructing a building in which the composting process will occur. The facility will start with 2 to 3 cubic yards of compost, however, the new building will be able to support 12 cubic yards of compost.
