You're Invited.
Join us for the Grand Opening of the WINR Center and the 20-Year Anniversary of Natural Fertilizer Services. An afternoon and evening of facility tours, great food, live music, and community.
Two Milestones
The Grand Opening of WINR & 20 Years of Natural Fertilizer
This is a big one. We're opening the doors to the first WINR (Waste Into Nutrient Recovery) Center: a facility built to transform organic waste streams into natural fertilizer, closing the nutrient cycle and creating wins for farmers, communities, and the environment.
We're also celebrating 20 years of Natural Fertilizer Services. What started as a one-person operation managing manure in western Iowa has grown into a company serving 1,000+ partners across 100,000+ acres, with support from the USDA's Fertilizer Production Expansion Program and recognition as the 2025 Neal Smith Iowa Entrepreneur of the Year.
Come see the facility. Meet the team. Hear the vision for what's next.
