   I work as team member at the Potrero Hill store in San Francisco
   and we adhere strictly to WFM Green Mission program. This idea
   will surely work in the city ,since we have several community gardens scattered all over the neighborhoods.If the South Region can do,Northern California we not be far behind. Keep up the good work.

   I would like to learn which locations are doing this…and really why all are not? Great idea…so much produce and all going to waste can now go to a good cause!

   Hi Peggy. In most all of our regions, our stores have composting programs in place. This video with Farmer D simply highlights the program in one of our more progressive regions.

   This program with Farmer D is happening in all of our Atlanta-area stores, our Birmingham, AL store, and our Greenville, SC store. It mainly has to do with how our trucks run — our North Carolina stores have a separate program which handles the composted material locally as well. Hope this helps!
