Our Compost
Our passion
At Last Hope Compost, our passion is agriculture and family. We take pride in everything we do on our farm, from fixing fences to feeding calves. Cows are the way of life for our family. All hands are on deck when there is a project and there just so happens to always be a new project. Our compost is the newest project, that has everyone excited.
Cow Compost
Our compost is a cow manure-based product. The compost is carefully tilled and combined together to make our product. The compost is evenly distributed while in our barns. The cows are the only animals contributing to the compost. Natural heat kills any harmful bacteria from the manure. Compost is timed and able to fully age/compost, making all nutrients available for a variety of plants.
