Our Compost

At Fall River Feedyard, LLC we’re proud to produce our own high-quality compost—taking it from raw manure to sterilized, weed-seed-free, and bacteria-free material that’s perfect for lawns, gardens, fields, and anything you want to thrive!

Over the past few years, we’ve invested in new equipment and rigorous testing to perfect our process. The result? Compost that not only meets high standards but is now officially approved for use on organic farm fields.

Curious about the details? We’d be happy to share our latest lab test results—just ask!

Questions? We got answers!

How much is your compost?

It’s just $15 per ton, with a $15 minimum charge.
On average, a full pickup box is usually a ton.

How do you process your compost?

Great question! Each row is maintained at 140-150 degrees for three days, which helps eliminate any pesky seeds or bacteria. We use a turner to roll the manure and keep an eye on the rows with moisture and temperature probes. We turn the rows to add some oxygen, which helps heat the manure. When it reaches a nice, dry, dirt-like texture, we pile it all together and start fresh with new rows.

When can I get compost?

Anytime! We produce it year-round, so you’re never out of luck.
You can stop by Monday through Friday
between 8:00 AM - 11:30 AM & 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM.
No need to make an appointment—just swing by the office when you get here!

What’s in your compost?

Only the best—cow manure! We start with raw manure from our pens once the cows have moved on. If a pen has any issues, like broken concrete, we clear that out and set it aside in a dedicated pile. This way, we keep your compost clean and free from any unwanted debris.

Is there help for loading?

Absolutely! There’s always someone around to help load your compost.

Do you offer delivery?

We don't at this time, but give us a call and we can get you in touch with someone who can!

Do you bag your compost?

Our compost is sold by the loose load.
You bring the container — big or small, from a bucket to a semi trailer— and we’ll load it up!”

Can we get just raw manure?

Absolutely! Raw manure is free for the taking.
