Carbon Rich
“We care about soil, and soil cares about farmers. We care for the soil, so the soil can care for you” .
About Us
Carbon Rich produces high quality compost and related products in the heart of the Riverina at our site in Murrami, NSW. We do this on a farm that has been in the family for over 100 years. Our focus is on using agricultural wastes to make products that help create farming systems that are more resilient, more profitable and easier to manage.
The products we make reflect the values that we share, because of this everything we create is as practical, affordable and long lasting as we are.
Our Non-Negotiables
It's practical
It actually works, and it can be done with existing farm machinery and labour with no modifications.
It's affordable
It fits within normal farm budgets, even before helping cut costs and increasing income.
It can be done forever
The resources, energy and effort required are always available, and the farm environment is left better than when we started.
Meet Our Team
At CarbonRich we are united by our belief that farming should be forever.
John Barton is from the 4th generation of a farming family based immediately across the road from the facility. He has worked on a wide range of farm types in labouring, managerial and research roles. After retraining in science as an adult, John has spent the last 13 years working on the meeting point between science and the hard practicalities of large-scale commercial compost operations. John has had a hand in the production of 1 million cubic metres of compost in this time (around 1 million ute loads), and has helped design, commission and support 7 new commercial scale compost facilities around Australia.
James grew up in Queanbeyan, NSW, spending as much time as he could outdoors and on farm. James has worked a variety of jobs in the agriculture industry ranging from driving headers and insect farming to online livestock sales and project management. After obtaining a Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences James moved to Sydney to work in agricultural sales and marketing.
