About Goes Around
About Matt Gretton
I’m an environmental consultant and the owner of Goes Around in Rochester, New York.
I grew up in upstate New York and studied environmental studies at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Much of my work since then has been in New Mexico, with a city, a state agency, a food business program, and a mushroom farm I started.
Work before Goes Around
I’ve spent time on both sides of a project plan, writing and reviewing the paperwork and doing the day-to-day work it calls for.
Environmental programs
At the New Mexico Environment Department, I’ve administered Recycling and Illegal Dumping grants, helped operators with technical questions, and coordinated certification workshops and reporting.
Municipal project development
As a FUSE Executive Fellow with the City of Albuquerque, I helped plan community food-scrap drop-off sites.
Food systems & business support
At Delicious New Mexico, I helped food entrepreneurs work through equipment, facilities, and other production needs.
Hands-on operations
At Matt’s Mushroom Farm in Albuquerque, I managed cultivation, staff, farmers market sales, and food safety.
These examples come from my public-sector, fellowship, and small-business work.

The Experience page goes into the work itself, from food-scrap collection and state grants to mushroom production and black soldier fly trials.

I start by asking what needs to happen, who’s available to do it, and what it will cost. Then I write down what I’ll handle and what I’ll need from you.
I can take on a specific piece of work or help coordinate a project over time.
Developing work
What I’m experimenting with
I’m raising black soldier fly larvae on a small scale and looking at ways to make useful things from salvaged materials.
For now, these are independent experiments.
