The nonprofit urban teaching farm, Apple Seeds, in Fayetteville demonstrates the science and art of turning food scraps and leaf debris into rich compost for use as a soil ammendment in the garden. Established in 1997, Apple Seeds' mission is to teach school kids, teachers and community members the roots of organic and sustainable gardening as well as healthy foodways.
