Composting
Turning Kenai fish waste into soil.
The legacy Progress page describes Matti's Farm raising funds by composting organic waste, especially fish waste from dipnetting, and turning it into nutrient-rich soil.
Organization history
Ideas that helped shape the farm.
Before the current rebuild, Matti's Farm tested and planned practical ways to connect agriculture, sustainability, education and youth.
Education vision
A greenhouse that could travel to students.
The organization explored converting a bus into a mobile greenhouse that could visit schools and demonstrate growing, harvesting and composting as one connected food cycle.
Starting small at Diamond M.
While looking for a larger permanent farm site, the organization planned to test its ideas on a smaller scale using Carrol and JoAnne Martin's old house on the Diamond M Ranch property.
Equipment and growth.
The old site identified a compost screener and bagger as next-step equipment and described the long-term goal of a larger parcel dedicated to Matti's Farm in the Kenai-Soldotna area.
Historical status: These are documented past plans and projects. They are preserved here as organizational history and are not presented as current programs unless Matti's Farm confirms they have resumed.
