Client’s Requirements:
Close to the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park sits a small mountain town known as Cooke City. Cooke City School sought ways to kickstart their composting journey among their extremely high altitude, heavy snowfall, and subarctic climate. With temperatures remaining below freezing 5 months out of the year, Cooke needed a system that could withstand the cold and snow. Being fully enclosed to deter surrounding wildlife was also a must. Additionally, having a vessel that is accessible to students and demonstrates the composting process would also be beneficial in the schools outdoor educational curriculum.

Client Feedback:
“The soil is delicious! I mean just look at it! And the planter beds are so deep. We're spoiled to get to start our garden with such amazing soil. However, I have worked really hard for that compost. It's well worth it though. The soil gives me as much pleasure as the vegetables growing in it.”
