OUR FARM ETHOS / PRINCIPLES
Healthy Soil
By 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 Sequestration
With an increase in below ground biomass through year round production and cover cropping we will improve soil structure; increase mycorrhizal and fungal communities and increased nutrient and water-holding capacity.
Accessibility
We ALWAYS offer our direct to consumer produce at sliding-scale prices for low, medium and high-income earners to ensure increased access to healthy food for all eaters. We accept SNAP/EBT and DUFB.
Safe Space
As a queer, cis female identified, white woman, there is a strong commitment to creating a safe and welcoming space on the farm.
