Croton Farmers Market Opens May 10 with a New Service: Composting

The Croton Rec Department is in on the initiative.

Croton-on-Hudson Farmers Market opens for the season on Sunday.

As of Opening Day, Down to Earth Markets will host a compost bin at the market.

The community is invited to contribute food scraps all season long. As the season progresses, customers will be able to take the nutrient-rich compost back to their own gardens. Any remaining compost at the end of the season will go to the Croton Community Garden.

The Croton Recreational Department has planned for the compost program to begin with a skill share by the Master Gardeners of Cornell Cooperative Extension on Sunday, from 9 am to 2 pm.
