It’s all circular
Soil health is the quickest way to not just stop but reverse the effects of climate change. By rerouting food scraps to regenerative farms to feed pigs, we help build healthy soil through fertilization and organic-matter building - just the way Nature designed.
Collect your Scraps
Sign up for a monthly food scrap drop-off membership to get access to our growing network of community drop sites in Boulder, Longmont & Lyons!
Drop Off Weekly
Food scraps are picked up weekly via tote swap and then brought to our partner farms to feed pigs and build soil through regenerative ag practices.

Incubated at Yellow Barn Farm
The Picky Pig was piloted by Compost Colorado in 2024.
We’ve since launched as our own micro-business at Yellow Barn Farm and feeding Drylands Agroecology Research’s pigs!
We service Boulder, Longmont & Lyons with neighborhood & community drop-off hubs.
The pigs digest food waste and turn it back into fertilizer that creates healthy soils helping to restore the carbon cycle and create garden beds for native, perennial, and annual crops!
