Published purpose

Wastenot Farms 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 sold as a valuable regenerative growing tool called Jocelyn’s Soil Booster Worm Manure. All our natural soil amendment products follow our circular economy principles and help growers work with Mother Nature. The company has hired a 10 month technician 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.
