Hamilton, NJ — February 17, 2023
FOR Solutions, a leading developer of commercial-scale food composting solutions for businesses and institutions, is pleased to announce that Pocono Organics has selected its Model 612 Composting System to enhance its sustainability efforts. FOR Solutions composting systems are designed to recycle uneaten food into nutrient-dense, high-quality compost instead of landfilling or incinerating it.
Pocono Organics is committed to using sustainable agricultural practices to minimize its environmental impact while producing high-quality, organic products. With the addition of the FOR Solutions Model 612 Composting System, Pocono Organics will be able to further reduce its carbon footprint by recycling its uneaten food into a valuable soil amendment.
The FOR Solutions Model 612 Composting System includes an aerobic in-vessel rotary drum digester that epitomizes sustainable materials management by recycling uneaten food into high-quality compost in just five days in a virtually odorless process that requires no supplemental heat or enzymes. FOR Solutions composting systems are optimized for large institutions such as farms, universities, hospitals, and mid-to-large size businesses that currently send large amounts of uneaten food to landfills or incinerators. The FOR Solutions Model 612 Composting System is designed to process 260,000 lbs. of uneaten food annually.
"We are thrilled to partner with Pocono Organics to help further its commitment to sustainable agriculture," said FOR Solutions Founder and CEO Nicholas Smith-Sebasto, Ph.D. "By providing them with our patented, innovative composting biotechnology, we are enabling them to reduce their environmental impact while producing nutrient-rich compost that will enhance the quality of the soil on its 400-care farm. Our Model 612 Composting System is the ideal solution for farms and other institutions looking to reduce waste and promote sustainability."
“We are excited to be using the FOR Solutions composting system to support our Regenerative Organic agricultural practices where a key focal point is soil health,” said Pocono Organics Founder and President, Ashley Walsh. “The FOR Solutions composting system will help us process healthy compost for our farm in days instead of years!”

About Pocono Organics
Diagnosed in her late 20s with gastroparesis, a paralyzed stomach which prevents people from digesting food easily, Pocono Organics Founder and President Ashley Walsh found herself at a dead-end with traditional medicine that prescribed feeding tubes and medication for her to lead a ‘normal’ life. Those options set Ashley on a discovery path with an organic diet and lifestyle where she found the health benefits, relief, and hope she sought. But, two thoughts kept running through her head – first, “How could I help others experience the healing power of food?”; second, “I can’t find a local source of great, nutrient-dense organic foods.” Those thoughts led her to a vision of Pocono Organics in 2015. Ashley’s vision came to life in July, 2018 at the farm’s groundbreaking ceremony on 50 acres of land in Long Pond, PA. Having acquired additional farmland, Pocono Organics is now poised to be one of the largest regenerative organic farms in North America at 381 acres!
