January 24, 2020 from Farmer Craig of Coogan Farm
"Thanks so much for spending so much time with Emma and I yesterday, what a PERFECT product you guys have and to see the operation in person was a clincher for me. I knew you guys were really good since we have spent time together displaying at the BFA Soil and Nutrition Conference but being on-site was awesome. The smell is divine, the product just can't be better and we will be back real soon to get a few truckloads of screened compost. Being able to see the microbial life in your products is amazing and everyone should take a visual look at what you make. Thank you so very much for your time, your expertise and your friendship. Farm on"
From Raised Bed Mix customers:
"Excellent results and no weeds. I've been back three times now for more raised bed mix."

"I've been coming to Earth Care Farm to get raised bed mix for 15 years! My plants go bananas! I'll keep coming back as long as I live."

From a Seed Garlic customer:

From a Compost customer:
"Hi Folks,
Last year our garden was very sad. Great plant growth with very little yield. I heard it was a bad year all around. Last winter I ran across an article in a magazine about your farm and I saved it thinking I would get some of your compost in the spring. Well, I did and at first I was skeptical because the soil felt dry (I thought it would be moist and gooey - what do I know) and it had no smell (surprised by that). Well let me tell you................. my garden is thriving and a little out of control. :) !!!!!!!!
We've already gotten a ton of zucchini, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers and the tomatoes although green right now are out of control. Potatoes are going in the ground this week.
You sell a GREAT product which I will continue to purchase for years to come.
I'm glad I found you guys. Keep up the good work!

From an Education Program:
On behalf of the URI Outreach Center, I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge on large scale compost operations for the Master Composter Training. Your enthusiasm and expertise inspire the trainees and you received positive evaluations. Thanks for your support to this program.
best, Sejal & Vanessa"
From the RI Food Policy Council:
"This is a warm thank you to John for the informative tour he gave me last Friday. Your operation is most impressive. I hope to be able to call on you for advice or help as I work with the RI Food Policy Council to provide whatever is needed to promote more food waste composting in the state.
Thanks again.

From West Kingston Elementary School:
"On September 4, we had our annual Back to School Picnic, and for the second year in a row, we composted and recycled everything we could at the event. We ...collected...all of our food scraps. The following week, we brought three, 20-gallon bins to Earth Care Farm where you graciously accepted our compost free of charge. This generous donation not only allowed us to further our Green Team goals, but helped keep our Back to School Picnic expenses within our budget.
thank you, PTO Co-Presidents"
