Farm Partnerships: Increase Crop Yields while Saving Money on Inputs
Join our Black Gold Network to get regular access to the nitrogen-rich feedstock you need to make the best fertilizer a farmer can use: food scraps.
How It Works
Most farmers have plenty of access to mulch, but did you know that adding food scraps to your mulch piles will give you more nutritious soil, faster? Building your own soil can save a farm thousands on low-quality, imported soil amendments, and the finished compost you make grows stronger, healthier plants that require less fertilizer and pesticides. Plus, you become a vital part of the waste crisis solution. At Fertile Earth Worm Farm, we're offering a decentralized solution to both the fertilizer issues and waste crisis plaguing Miami Dade Residents and Farmers for decades.
For just $50 per truckload, you'll receive a consistent supply of premium organic material to feed your soil, reduce your input costs, and close the loop on our region's food system.

The Partnership Solution
The Process
Sign up: Fill out our online form.
Farmer SOP & onboarding call: Get a copy of our Farmer SOP and schedule a call with our team to review the SOP and schedule your on-site visit.
On-site visit: We assess your receiving sites, check equipment, and work with you to determine your schedule.
Communication: We create a group chat with our drivers and your team for optimal, real-time communication.
Start receiving material: Begin receiving food scraps on your freshly built mulch bed, cover them right away, and turn as often as needed to build beautiful compost.
The Real Cost of Building Soil
Let's talk numbers. Traditional soil amendments add up fast:
- Commercial compost: $20–$50 per cubic yard
- Organic fertilizers: $200–$440 per application for an average field
- Screened topsoil: $20–$40 per cubic yard
- Manure-based amendments: $30+ per cubic yard
For a small farm operation, monthly spending on soil amendments and fertilizers can easily exceed $300–$800 or more, depending on your acreage and crop needs.
Our partnership offers a smarter solution: For $50, you receive an entire truckload of diverse, nutrient-rich food scraps—the nitrogen-rich feedstock necessary for that beautiful black gold.
That's premium organic matter for pennies on the dollar compared to buying commercial compost or fertilizers. One $50 truckload from Fertile Earth could replace hundreds of dollars in purchased amendments, while giving you control to compost it your way and build the exact soil your farm needs.

You can start with less frequent deliveries and scale up as you develop your composting systems and see the results in your soil.
