Working Landscapes Biochar Kiln Loan Program

Working Landscapes lends biochar kilns free of charge so farmers, gardeners and land stewards can turn woody debris and other dry feedstock into biochar for their soil. Two kiln types are offered: an Oregon kiln for small-to-medium producers (up to 1.4 cubic yards of biochar in about 4 hours) and a larger Ring of Fire kiln suited to bigger or multi-farm burns. Kilns are picked up in downtown Warrenton, NC.

• Open to everyone: farmers, gardeners, or land stewards.

• Need woody materials or other feedstock, dry and 3 inches in diameter or less (approximately 3-4 cubic yards of feedstock per Oregon kiln burn).

Kiln is free of charge; borrower picks up in Warrenton, NC and coordinates return with staff.
