Dirt Hugger was founded in 2010 by Pierce Louis and Tyler Miller in The Dalles, Oregon, close to Hood River in the Columbia River Gorge. 

Pierce and his business partner, Tyler, started Dirt Hugger after leaving their careers in drone technology. Their background in tech and business has served them well in the compost industry.

Their facility in Washington takes in 50,000 tons of organics a year, and they use a unique aerated pile system.

Pierce has tons of great insights, and he was generous in sharing them with us.
