Bristol Living Soil is a composting collective based at St Werburghs City Farm, dedicated to regenerating our soils, rebuilding community and sharing knowledge.
We collect food waste from our members – households, community organisations and businesses – which we carefully (and energetically) process into nutrient-rich living soil, brimming with life. Find out more about how to become a member.
We also organise and host soil related events and workshops; bringing people together to learn from experts and from each other is a big part of our mission and a lot of fun.
Whilst we are a small team, we are part of a wider network of compost collectives, and local and national projects and organisations. Our work wouldn’t be possible without the support of our members, volunteers, funders, supporters and those of you spreading the word.
We are the first of what we envisage will be a network of hyper-local compost collectives around the city. Each one will transform the food waste in its local neighbourhood into high value living compost saving nutrients and energy from leaving the local food system and replenishing soil for local growers and gardeners. We are happy to support others to start their own collectives.
