Interlochen Center for the Arts - Great Michigan Compost Tour

Come visit Interlochen’s composting program and teaching gardens and learn about how composting connects to their vision for sustainability! They have both small-scale and large, industrial-scale composting facilities on-site. In Interlochen’s small-scale composting, a small 3-bay system, vermicomposting, and Johnson Su bioreactor-style compost bins are utilized. At the industrial compost facility, Interlochen operates a front-end loader tractor and a multi-bay system that allows us to turn the piles daily while adding food waste from our three on-campus cafeterias.

Interlochen Center for the Arts has turned out over 170 tons of finished compost each year that is utilized on their gardens and flowerbeds across campus. Excess compost is often donated to other non-profit garden projects in the region.
