Davey Stewards, founder of the Harvest Collective, talks about the regenerative agriculture business cooperative he has started.
Davey Stewards hauls boxes of food waste from the Roanoke Co-op â produce that didnât sell, or scraps from the kitchen â from the bed of his pickup truck, heaving them onto a mound of dirt.
Some might see it simply as garbage, but not Stewards. Heâs composting, turning the waste into living soil. And he wants to help others do it, too.
Stewards, 35, is the founder of the Harvest Collective, a regenerative agriculture business collective. He has launched a variety of projects â a permaculture-based farm known as Outback Orchards worked by volunteers in exchange for produce, custom-built chicken coops â but the one that could have the broadest reach is an effort to launch a compost facility and collection service.

ROANOKE, Va. – As Governor Ralph Northam continues to urge Virginians to get a COVID-19 vaccine, Roanoke City Public Schools kicked off its first vaccine clinic for eligible students.
Though the vaccines are completely optional, a new poll shows more parents are willing to get their children vaccinated.
Nearly 100 students at both Patrick Henry and William Flemings High School received their first dose of Pfizer Friday.
Executive Director of School Climate and Safety Tim Hahn points out how convenient it is for students to just walk into their gym and roll up their sleeves.

Miss Vest and Mr. Quest (Roanoke City Public Schools)
ROANOKE, Va. – Everyone loves a good love story, and Roanoke City Public Schools has one that’ll put a smile on your face.
RCPS brought to Facebook to announce that Megan Vest, a teacher a Woodrow Wilson Middle School, and Zachary Quest, a teacher at William Fleming High School are getting married.
The two love birds met while teaching and believe that it was meant to be.
“If it weren’t for RCPS, we wouldn’t have even met. And now we love both getting to serve our community. Our hearts are here!” said Vest.
Roanoke City Public Schools announced a major project Monday to include establishment of a career and technical education center on the campus of William Fleming High School.
In addition, school officials said they plan to buy The Roanoke Times building downtown to use as a new central office. The current central administration offices will become the Booker T. Washington Center for Community Empowerment & Education, a newly released written plan says.
Setting up the three new facilities will cost an estimated $15 million, officials said.
The new technical training center responds to a concern that students would benefit from greater access to quality technical training, which goes by the acronym CTE in school circles. Right now, the city school system operates a tech ed center only at Patrick Henry High School.
