Your garden begins in the kitchen

The fully automated Mill food recycler is your gardening companion — without the smells, mess, or chores.

Let Mill do the dirty work

Create a nutrient-rich resource for your garden without

even pressing a button.

Waste nothing

No smells. No fruit flies. No leaks or spills. You’ll never want to go back to the pail.

Create a resource

Mill dries and grinds while you sleep, creating nutrient-rich grounds.

Nourish your soil

Empty your Mill about once a month. Mix your grounds with soil or compost.

How it works

What goes in

Mill can handle nearly any food or plant scraps — even meat, bones, pits, and dairy — with 288 pounds of force on deck.

What happens inside

The interior gets hot enough to remove pathogens — but stays cool enough to preserve the nutrients. Its carbon filter removes 99.9% of odor particles.

What comes out

When it’s finally time to empty, you’ll have about 2 lbs of nutrient-rich grounds that are dry, shelf-stable, compact, and ready to use in your garden.

How to use your grounds

Mix with garden soil

Simply mix your grounds with your garden soil, water it down, and wait a couple weeks to plant.

Mix into your compost pile

Using Mill’s grounds rather than food scraps makes composting easier, cleaner, and faster.

Feed to your chickens

Your nutrient-rich grounds are still food — and can be mixed with chicken feed for your backyard hens.

Close the loop with your garden

How you make a difference with Mill

Track your impact right in the Mill app. The average family diverts over 300 lbs of food per year — avoiding a net half-ton of greenhouse emissions.
