At Common Ground, we help people care for the land, honor the cycles of life, and make the most of natural resources. Whether you’re a farmer, a gardener, an educator, or simply compost-curious, we offer practical solutions rooted in regenerative principles.
Current Services
Get tailored guidance for your land or garden - from composting techniques and amendment planning to whole-system soil care. We work with small farms, homesteads, nonprofits, and individuals who want to regenerate their soil and reduce waste. Available in-person across California’s North Coast and virtually worldwide.
Soil Health Consulting
From “Composting 101” to advanced regenerative practices, we bring hands-on education to community groups, schools, and organizations. Sessions are available in person or virtually, tailored to your audience’s needs and skill level
Workshops & Presentations
Turn “waste” into value. We help identify cost-effective, eco-friendly ways to manage organic material, connect you with local composting facilities, and design systems that fit your space, budget, and goals.
If you have your own tools & equipment on-site:
Build, monitor and troubleshoot compost systems
Train staff, students, or volunteers in safe, effective composting practices
Design efficient material flow for composting operations

Vision & Future Offerings
Ecological Deathcare
We are working toward offering Natural Organic Reduction (human composting) and grief-informed composting services - honoring life’s end with environmental care and respect for the grieving process.
Compost Production and Sales
Locally made, biologically rich compost available in bulk or bags for farmers, landscapers, and home gardeners.
On-Farm & Community Composting Operations
We plan to grow into a mobile composting and soil application service for farms and community spaces without their own processing or spreading equipment. With specialized tools like a compost turner and spreader, we’ll manage piles start-to-finish and apply compost directly to fields. This expansion will bring regenerative soil health practices to more land stewards across the North Coast and beyond.
Feedstock & Soil Amendment Supply
We aim to supply high-quality composting ingredients and soil amendments to support land stewards, gardeners, and community composters in creating healthy, contaminant-free soils. Our focus includes sourcing animal feed and bedding feed free from persistent chemicals that can damage composts, as well as providing clean C:N sources for balanced pile building. We also plan to offer mineral amendments, inoculants, and organic matter for blending custom soil mixes. By ensuring that every input is safe and beneficial, we help safeguard soil health from the ground up.
Research & Collaboration
Partnering with universities, nonprofits, and farmers to test, refine, and share soil health practices that work for our region.
