About Us

Established in 2016

Founded by husband and wife team Ryan Green and Adrienne Huckabone, our story begins with a return home. After years spent building skills and experience in different places, we came back with a simple idea and the determination to grow it into something bigger. Our journey blends backgrounds in high-density composting, the arts, and agriculture. At the center of it all is a shared mission to turn food waste into healthy, living soil.

Adrienne, a Bozeman native, leads creative direction, operations, and just about everything in between. On any given day you might find her designing materials, coordinating logistics, working a farmers market booth, running collection routes, or washing buckets of every imaginable size.

Ryan has worked across the entire food waste cycle, from restaurant kitchens to farms to large-scale composting operations in rural Maine and New York City. Now he has made Bozeman home by hauling commercial buckets, building and turning compost piles, and keeping it all running smooth.

Together we are helping turn scraps into soil and building a more resilient, regenerative community from the ground up.

Meet the Team

This small but mighty team keeps the cycle turning year round! Ryan, Adrienne, Sam, Kate!

We work with students, volunteers, interns as well- anyone interested in compost we welcome to reach out to learn more!

Since 2018, we've been using CASP technology from Sustainable Generation to maintain benchmark temperatures for the thermophilic composting process. This advanced system allows us to keep composting efficiently year-round in Montana, even through harsh winters where temperatures can drop as low as -20°F. By ensuring optimal conditions, we’re able to process organic waste quickly and sustainably, no matter the season

Our Process

Every year,

We haul and process over

3 million pounds

of food scraps alone!

We carefully hand-pick any contamination we find because 100% of our feedstock returns to the soil. We do our best to ensure a clean composting process, but we can’t do it alone! Please help us keep our stream clean by keeping plastic, stickers, twist ties, and other non-compostable items out.

Remember, it's all going back to the land, so let's keep plastic out.

Covered Aerated Static Piles

by Sustainable Generation

We transport all

collected organic material

back to our compost yard in

Bozeman, Montana,

where every load is carefully dumped by hand.

We wash every collected bin for easy commercial service.

Our Compost Partners

A huge thank you to our incredible community compost partners! Whether you're a small household contributing a single bucket or a large business diverting food scraps on a bigger scale, every bucket makes a difference. Together, we're reducing waste, enriching our soil, and building a more sustainable future. Locals supporting local.
