Keith Ohlinger, of Heritage Hill Farm in Howard County, talks about that county's approach to composting on Monday at the compost summit at Fox Haven Farm in Jefferson.
More than 70 people attended a composting summit at Fox Haven Farm on Monday to learn more about the composting initiative in Frederick. County Executive Jan Gardner highlighted the progress Frederick County has made but also the goals it hopes to meet going forward.
Gardner said the county has significant progress to make — particularly in food waste recycling — in order to meet the state’s goals for 2025.
