THE GOAL AT WILD WELLSPRING FARM IS TO ENCOURAGE OUR COMMUNITY TO EAT LOCALLY ALL YEAR ROUND, WITH A FOCUS ON WINTER EATING. WE DO THIS BY OFFERING TWO UNIQUE CSA MODELS.

OUR [ WINTER ONLY CSA ] IS AVAILABLE EARLY NOVEMBER THROUGH MID MARCH, FEATURING FRESH, COLD HARDY GREENS AND ROOT CROPS, HARVESTED AND STORED AT THE PEAK OF THEIR SEASON.

OUR [ P.S. PRESERVING SHARE ] IS AVAILABLE JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER, FEATURING LIMITED CROPS IN BULK THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE CANNED, FROZEN, ROASTED, FERMENTED AND PRESERVED FOR WINTER CONSUMPTION.

OUR FARM ETHOS / PRINCIPLES

Healthy SoilBy integrating and increasing the use of cover crops in our bio-intensive system, using low-till practices and diversified crop rotation and organic compost applications we feed the soil first.

Seasonal

Our winter CSA will last from November through March, making seasonal produce accessible at a time when local food is a scarcity. We will help our community recognize that we can eat seasonally and locally year-round in Colorado.

Open-Pollinated

With a deep commitment to place and community, we only grow open-pollinated varieties of vegetables to encourage bio-regional adaptability and on farm seed-saving.

Carbon SequestrationWith an increase in below ground biomass through year round production we will improve soil structure; increase mycorrhizal and fungal communities; increased nutrient and water-holding capacity; improved heat and water flux.
