National Planning Excellence Award for Innovation in Best Practices for Sustainability Hilltop Hanover, A Westchester County Farm and Environmental Center Westchester County, New York Hilltop Hanover was previously a 180-acre dairy farm that was turned into a farm and environmental center to educate the residents of Westchester County about sustainable agriculture and environmentally sensitive practices. Acquisition of the old dairy farm also preserved open space and protected a public drinking water supply watershed. Programs offered at Hilltop Hanover are designed to expand awareness of the environmental impacts of human activity, offer alternatives to existing practices and demonstrate practical methods for implementing new strategies. Demonstration projects such as green roofs, rain barrels, and composting toilets are used to educate the public on how to create a more sustainable community and decrease carbon footprints. Seventy percent of the produce (7000 pounds) harvested at Hilltop Hanover is distributed to local food pantries, and the education center employs developmentally disabled adults from a nearby adult day care program. Hilltop Hanover is managed and operated by the Westchester County Department of Planning, which envisioned using it as a tool to physically demonstrate many of the county's sustainability goals.

The Tumbleweed compost tumbler has a neat, compact design makes it an ideal compost bin for any level composter with any amount of garden space. By giving the Tumbleweed a spin every few days, it's easy to create fresh compost. The 100% UV protected, recycled plastic is a dark green color. When the sun hits the dark compost bin, it heats up the contents inside, speeding up the breakdown process. A stainless steel bar going through the compost bin breaks up any larger clumps that might form, further helping the breakdown process. The galvanized steel leg base makes this composting unit extremely sturdy, no matter how heavy the compost inside gets. These legs won't rust, so the composter will last many years out in the elements. With dual-end twist lock lids, it's easy to add or remove material no matter which end is up. The locking lids also prevent any small animal pests from getting into the bin. The lids are also vented, keeping the compost aerated while allowing any compost tea to drain out into the soil under the bin. The Tumbleweed compost tumbler holds up to 58 gallons of materials while continuously breaking down kitchen scraps, yard debris and other compostable materials into rich, organic compost that plants will love.
- 58 gallon capacity for your leaves, grass and kitchen waste
- Steel frame design is easy to assemble stand.
- Stainless steel central rod will not rust and helps aerate each time it tumbles
- Dual locking lids have 4 vents to help provide needed oxygen to your compost
