Where to buy finished compost

 

Where can you find and purchase Illinois manufactured compost?

The IFSCC is proud to share this resource to help you connect with our members. Locations listed below may sell their compost in bags, bulk, or both! Please remember to confirm details with store or reseller. 

Scroll down to see the Compost Sales Map in order to easily search for stores and other outlets in your area. Contact sites directly if you would like to learn additional information about specific products or if you would like to arrange for large quantity purchases.

If you do not see a compost processor or retail outlet that markets USCC-STA Certified compost (US Composting Council Seal of Testing Assurance) on our map, please let them know about the IFSCC. We’d love to grow our membership and at the same time increase markets for the sale of our favorite thing: compost!

NOTE: IFSCC is adding *ICAW2025 Partner* to interested member processors and resellers of compost providing compost samples, bucket sized and bulk material for Adventures in Composting site hosts. All sales and donations will be made directly between event hosts and each ICAW2025 Partner.
