The Compost Chick 

 December 2, 2024

By  Kiva Oregon

Liz started The Compost Chick, a women-owned business, to help the planet, community, and soil. A CO.STARTERS Core program graduate, The Compost Chick has over 90 customers, including homes, restaurants, small schools, and the Eastern Oregon University cafeteria.

This $14,000 loan will allow me to purchase expensive equipment, which will reduce labor costs and help the company expand. It will keep more food waste out of our landfills, feed more chickens and goats, and provide more wonderful compost, making our world a little better.

The Compost Chick is a curb-side food scrap pick-up service that returns finished compost to its members in the warmer months of the year. Liz operates out of North Powder, Oregon and collects food scraps from Baker City to Elgin.
