David Bill and Faith Van De Putte of Midnight’s Farm on Lopez Island run a Department of Ecology “farm exempt" aerated static pile compost facility, raise pork and cattle, run a farm stay, and have a no-till market garden. We talk with them about their biochar research and elements of a safe on-farm compost system. 

Later in the episode, we check in with Nate Stacey, soil scientist and Farm Program Director at Tilth Alliance and delve into more things compost!

**NOTE** When David explains the acronym PFRP, he means “Process to Further Reduce Pathogens.”
