301 Organics is proud to produce biologically rich, local compost using Altadena’s own materials and native microbes. Crafted locally and mindfully, our compost is designed to restore damaged soils, regenerate ecosystems, and support the community we call home.
This is compost with purpose—science-backed, community-rooted, and made in Altadena, for Altadena.
We provide fire-impacted communities with comprehensive soil recovery services rooted in science and local stewardship. Our process begins with chemical and biological soil testing to assess contamination and microbial health. We then craft tailored soil prescriptions and apply treatments using locally sourced and made compost and biological extracts to restore vitality. Post-treatment testing and analysis ensure measurable progress, while our ongoing composting support empowers residents to build long-term resilience from the ground up. We do all this with the community in mind by hiring locally and supporting other local small businesses to ensure long-term economic recovery and revitalization.
