About Free Mulch

Free Mulch Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) for purpose organization. Our mission is to encourage environmental accountability, support sustainable local food systems, and develop farm incubators that produce thriving beginner organic farmers. We aim to connect people to the natural resources and social capital of community supported agriculture using Frog Song Organics Farm as a platform for experiential education and an incubator agribusiness training model.
​ 
​Free Mulch is providing a structured path for aspiring and beginning farmers; to learn hands-on skills and develop their own successful farm businesses.  We are rebuilding rural communities by creating opportunities for farmers and buyers to collaborate and create value added products that stimulate rural economies.  Collectively we are reassigning value to organic food systems by growing more local farmers and supporting local organic food businesses.
