Agromin donates carrot kits to schools

Agromin, a Camarillo-based premium soil producer and green waste recycler, teamed up with Newhall Land to donate 375 "Carrots for Kids" seed growing kits to the Saugus Union School District.

The kits are part of an overall program by Newhall Land called "Clippings for Carrots."

The program teaches children how to grow vegetables and to understand the green recycling process.

Students grow carrots in soil made from yard trimmings collected from Santa Clarita Valley residents and processed by Agromin, completing the recycling circle of sustainability.

In addition, Agromin transforms the green waste from the Santa Clarita Valley into soil products that are used at Newhall Land's agricultural operations.

Agromin uses this same technique in Ventura County, where it provides local farmers with soil products for their orchards and fields.

"Residents help farmers by making sure they put their green waste in their green recycling bins each week," said Bill Camarillo, Agromin CFO.
