What is Andre Farms and GoZERO Services, and how are they affiliated?

Andre Farms and GoZERO Services represent two distinct organizations that have been integral to the state's composting industry, economy, and social welfare. Andre Farms' family-owned compost production operation has been in operation since 1992. The farm has been passed down through generations and is currently owned by Paul and Nate Andre. Today, it produces compost and traditional row crops like corn and soy, and operates a land-forming business, Andre Landforming, which provides precision soil and water management earthmoving services across Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan.

GoZERO Services, a spinoff of Andre Farms organized by David Andre, is an Ohio not-for-profit dedicated to solving social, economic, and environmental issues across the region. Founded in 2015, GoZERO works to build bridges among citizens, businesses, and government to create meaningful, sustainable change. The organization is driven by its mission to create a better future by inspiring individuals and organizations to take action to reduce food waste, and it works with a wide range of partners to ensure its initiatives succeed. GoZERO's focus on problem-solving and community-building has helped to address environmental degradation, agricultural production, food access, economic growth, and job creation.

The partnership between Andre Farms and GoZERO Services of Ohio is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. The two organizations are united in their commitment to improving the lives of Ohioans and creating a better future for the state. By working together, they can create real, lasting change for the region.
