The Flagstaff EcoRanch is proud to announce a new collaboration with Higher Grounds Coffee Shop in creating closed loop food systems here in Flagstaff.  Higher Grounds will be using some kale purchased from the Flagstaff EcoRanch in their delicious and nutritious smoothies.  Flagstaff EcoRanch kale is grown without synthetic additives right in Flagstaff at the base of the San Francisco Peaks.  The Flagstaff EcoRanch collects approximately 50 lbs of spent coffee grounds per week for their compost, which is used as a soil amendment throughout the year.  Together, we are working to create a more local and secure food network.

Thanks to all the employees at Higher Grounds for helping to make this an effective collaboration!
