Local compost

The Velveteen Bean is hyper-local, small-batch East Bay compost made from high-quality, urban-salvaged inputs.

Keeping nutrients, microbes, and responsibility close to home.

Leaving contaminants out. Every small batch is hand-made with carefully selected seasonally available inputs.

Skip the emissions of the green bin, starve the landfill, build life.

Bring life back to your soil*

Hi, I’m Maggie. I’m a composter producer, micro-hauler, and waste diverter.

I show and teach the magic of waste-to-renewal through story, installations, art, and education.

I wrote about “The Worm Choir” for Planted Journal.

Why go Local?

Local compost cuts hauling, builds real, living soil, and turns waste into shared joy and responsibility.

Not about perfection. About participation.
