Our Projects
We work to educate about Colorado’s agricultural lands and legacy and to provide a platform for rural leadership and engagement in support of secure, equitable, and resilient food systems and communities.
Our current projects include
-
Regenerative Gardens & Classroom
Our outdoor community learning, teaching and growing space at Arbol Farm, near Paonia - and our home office.
And our associated community-based education and service. -
Community & Foodshed Resilience
Secure foodsheds have systems to feed those who live and work there. Food infrastructure and supply chains benefit a vibrant community and local economy, and the well-being of farmers, workers and community-members, especially those who may be in greater need, is a priority of community endeavors.
-
Healthy Lands & Watersheds
The public lands that surround our valley’ communities safeguard the headwaters and sources for the water supply that allows our farms and communities to thrive, offer outstanding recreation and outdoor opportunities, habitat and climate resilience.

Rural Climate Leadership
We support community partnerships to develop clean energy that integrates with rural lives and livelihoods, share information on the climate emergency currently impacting the Gunnison River region and solutions to help us mitigate and adapt to it, and we elevate examples of local climate action and leadership.

Rural Wellness & Ag Support
Rural resilience and wellness is tied closely to the vitality and health of our farms and the agricultural community. This programming seeks to support farm-based conservation practices that support farm health and to promote farmer and worker well-being.
