Our Zero Waste Ambitions

We are committed to becoming a zero waste and post disposable facility. We are constantly learning and evolving, discovering new things, and finding ways to transform what we have discovered into experiences for others to enjoy. Here are the initiatives we currently have in place:

Working with local partners to purchase biological dry goods in bulk
Producing as much as possible on the farm with a closed loop design
Finding new uses for any waste materials that end up on the farm
Purchasing only products with recyclable packaging or finding second uses for un-recyclable products
Only using reusable bags when shopping
Bulk purchasing or hand making all our cleaning and body care products for use on the farm
Asking guests to be very mindful of what they bring and use on the property and providing the essential products they will need
Making our own care and food products, such as soaps and preserves ,with farm abundance that is packed into recycled containers
Creating partnerships with local organic farms for zero waste food supplies
Preserving, pickling, canning, fermenting, and making things form excess farm produce
Extreme composting and organic waste recovery

FARM FRESH VEGETABLES SHARED WITH OTHERS

Colour and Texture to fuel the mind

At the CO Project Farm, food is the binding agent that helps us create incredible experiences. We are a fully functioning biological farm with advanced citrus and fruit trees, along with a thriving vegetable garden. We buy all locally sourced produce and make much of our own products. Everything is cooked with local olive oil, and all the wine is from the incredible abundant of local wineries. We are a vegetarian facility and only purchase local dairy. For us, food is the central metaphor and active ingredient for creating thriving communities, regenerating the body, and fueling the mind!
