"I value its affordability, consistency, high organic matter, and OMRI Listed status for use in organic production, as well as the role it plays in reducing the island’s landscape waste stream. In all honesty, I couldn’t farm the way I do without it. Organic regenerative farming on Nantucket at any scale would be economically out of reach otherwise."- Dan Southey, Washashore Farm
