Association Compost Producers Events

Location: Ranchito Milkyway (7275 San Miguel Road Bonita, CA 91902)
In San Diego, we'll be honoring 5 Compost Champions who are connecting healthy soils, healthy food, and healthy communities through compost.
On October 21st, the Compost Caravan is coming to San Diego! The Compost Caravan launched in 2026, through a partnership between the People, Food and Land Foundation, and the Association of Compost Producers.
Join us for an evening of celebration as we honor the amazing work being done by the people who help this coastal region thrive. Over a farm-to-table dinner, we’ll be granting 5 awards to represent the multifaceted ways people have leveraged compost to uplift the health of their communities and bolster our state’s economic and climate resilience. These are the compost champions that are moving the needle and building the bridge between healthy soils, healthy food, and healthy communities.
Compost is the quickest and most effective way to build healthy soils, making it a highly adaptable and deeply impactful resource for social, environmental, and economic resilience. Given that compost is a regional resource, limited by weight and the cost of long haul transportation, the Compost Caravan activates diverse stakeholders to explore how compost can solve local issues, contribute to their community’s abundance, and connect to statewide goals and funding opportunities.
