Let's not beat around the bush. Point Reyes Compost makes stuff out of poop. Really, really good stuff out of really, really good poop. Stuff that makes land thrive and gardens flourish. After all, Mother Nature knows what she's doing. There's a darn good reason animals poop onto the ground. Point Reyes Compost is here to bring it to those who aren't lucky enough to have happy, well-fed animals roaming around your land.
Point Reyes Compost Company takes regional products and invests them back into the land, creating an endless lifecycle while providing backyard farmer products that are used by other backyard farmers. Ain't poop grand?

The Urban Bee Lab's research group at the University of California has been working since 1987 on documenting bee diversity and bee frequencies on wild California plants in several northern California sites. They have found about 90 species of bees, most of which are native to California. Once sampling is completed in other urban residential areas of the SFBA, they expect this number to increase well beyond 100.
