B.C. firm that saved 11 million pounds of food from landfill facing closure

Langley’s ReFeed Farm uses circular nutrition model, looking to transition to non-profit, needs help

Stuart Lilley, founder of ReFeed Farm in Langley, created the company to fill a gap in our food system by filtering food considered waste from grocery stores to food banks, and repurpose non-edible food through a worm farm.

Coming from a background in waste management, Lilley was inspired to do something different after witnessing first-hand how much food is wasted.

On a daily basis, he moved five tonne loads of produce on pallets that were earmarked for disposal.
