Compost Day 2026

March 7th and 14th from 9:00am – 6:00pm at Lilly Den Farm

If you’re dreaming of a productive spring garden, it all starts with the soil.

At Lilly Den Farm, we believe healthy plants grow from healthy ground — and one of the best natural soil builders you can use is aged cow manure.

Why Aged Animal Manure Matters

Not all manure is created equal. Aged (or composted) cow manure has been allowed to break down over time, making it safe, effective, and incredibly beneficial for gardens.

Here’s why gardeners swear by it:

• Improves soil structure by loosening compacted ground and increasing drainage
• Adds slow-release nutrients that feed plants steadily without burning roots
• Supports beneficial microbes that improve plant health and nutrient uptake
• Helps soil retain moisture, reducing watering needs as temperatures rise

This is the same time-tested soil amendment farmers and gardeners have relied on for generations — simple, natural, and effective.

Get Your Garden Spring-Ready

Now is the perfect time to prep your beds, rows, and raised gardens before planting season begins.

Bring your pickup truck or trailer, and we’ll load you up with quality aged animal manure straight from the farm.
