Compost Fundraiser April 2022

UPDATE: June 1st 2022

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who have donated to our fundraiser to-date. While we have not met our goal, we are still accepting donations and earmarking these funds to be used towards bringing free compost drop-off back to the Mueller market. If you have any questions or suggestions, or are a local business interested in partnering with us to help make this happen, please email us at marketing@texasfarmersmarket.org. 

In celebration of Earth Month and our goal of creating a zero waste market and community, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Texas Farmers’ Market Compost Fundraiser, with the goal of bringing our free Community Composting program and other market activities back to the Mueller market! The fundraiser begins April 4th and runs through May 31st, as we celebrate Earth Month throughout the month of April and International Compost Awareness Week May 1st – 7th.

Donate at this link – any amount helps!

Longtime Mueller shoppers may recall that we offered free compost drop-off at the market prior to COVID. Due to increased operational costs to keep the markets running throughout the pandemic, the program has been on hold at Mueller ever since (the program was brought back to the Lakeline market in December 2021 in partnership with Break it Down Austin). In order to bring the compost and other programming back to Mueller, TFM is seeking donations from the community to help our non-profit organization afford costs including a weekly pick-up service, staffing, and equipment/supply needs.
