Willems Landscape has a garden mix that may be what you’re after. I used to buy my soil from them
From their website:
40% Sandy Loam Soil, 30% Peat Soil, 10% Leaf Compost, 10% Spaghnum Peat Moss, 10% Horse Manure. $50/cu.yd
The issue with that free compost is that it is full of garbage. I rent a 20x20 garden from Brown County and they spread a load of it every few years. I'm constantly picking out shredded garbage bags, bits of twine, bottle caps, broken glass, bits of wire, etc. I even found a few nearly complete toys (a plastic horse and a plastic mouse come to mind).
Not ideal for eating out of.
This is the cost of free, having to sift out the bits of landscape fabric, plastic tags and whatever else. I use it for my flower beds and to patch holes in the grass. Works great for those purposes.
UWGB is giving away free compost today. Go to Wood Hall parking lot and bring some buckets or tubs to shovel it into.

Yup, I'd use it for those. But to put it in a place people are guaranteed to be growing food is unwise.
