Jepson Prairie Organics (JPO), located east of Vacaville, California is one of the largest food scrap composting operations in the nation. Jepson Prairie Organics processes approximately 100,000 tons of organic material from San Francisco, surrounding Bay Area communities, and several municipalities within Solano County.
At Jepson Prairie Organics we utilize two primary types of feedstock in the composting process. Food scraps generated at restaurants, hotels, markets, and coffee shops throughout Northern California and yard trimmings generated in Dixon, Vacaville and Vallejo.
Jepson Prairie Organics’ quality assurance program includes routine nutrient, metal, and pathogen analysis of our compost to ensure a high quality, consistent product.
