Just got back from the Governor's conference for Colorado Agriculture. The focus was on traditional farming for the most part. There was a great breakout session in the afternoon and Grant Ranch farmer Lew grant spoke. He has farmed organically for 30 years and has 1000's of people purchasing shares of organic veggies now. Also, Frank Stonaker of Colorado State University Organic Ag dept spoke on the amount of research that is needed and larger grants to see this grassroots industry to its full birth. Met with a farmer from Miliken who has not put chemicals on his land for over 20 years and he is now going to grow organic certified crops.
The vision for Harvest Mountain is coming together. We want to collaborate with others with the same vision. We will provide great education services to our community. If you want to start a community garden let us know soon. If you would like to volunteer to help us educate the youth of metro Denver and rural areas - we need your help.
