Published purpose
Wastenot Farms is a start-up company that diverts food waste from landfill on behalf of Toronto businesses and uses that organic waste to feed worms. The worm manure is harvested, bagged and wholesaled to garden centres as a valuable all-natural soil amendment called Jocelyn’s Soil Booster worm manure. The company has hired a 19 week intern position to facilitate production of Jocelyn’s Soil Booster worm manure, increase composting capacity to allow for business growth and to develop operational plans for commercial scale processing and production to accommodate business expansion.
