Compass Green

Compass Green Compass Green teaches sustainability in agriculture to at-risk schools and communities across the United States, via our mobile greenhouse.

Compass Green is a fully functional greenhouse built in the back of a box truck that grows vegetables and herbs and is powered by waste vegetable oil. We teach practical farming tools and raise awareness on sustainability through presentations, workshops, and greenhouse tours at schools, camps, organizations and communities. Our curriculum is focused on Bio-intensive methods of sustainable farming

—producing the maximum yields with the minimum amount of resources. If you or anyone you know are interested in hosting Compass Green at a school, summer camp, farmers market, other organization or event please contact us at: [email protected]
