Our Multi-Farm CSA Is Now Open!
2025 Season: 16 weeks
June 26th - October 16th, 2025
Our multi-farm CSA is officially open! We have early-bird pricing, so now is your chance to secure 16 weeks (June 26 - Oct 16) of fresh, local food. By joining, you’ll enjoy the best seasonal produce while directly supporting local farmers and a sustainable food system.
We offer several CSA options to fit your needs, from fresh veggies to a Whole Diet Share that includes meat, dairy, eggs, and more! No matter which you choose, you’ll receive top-quality, locally sourced food that’s better for you, our farmers, and the planet.
2025 Share Options:
farm-fresh vegetable share
orchard fruit share
pastured local egg share
artisan bread share
& whole diet share
In our Whole Diet Share, you’ll get the standard vegetable, standard fruit, artisan bread, local eggs, AND each week, a mouthwatering selection of choice cuts of locally raised meat or fish – for example, two juicy NY strip steaks, a fillet of Alaskan salmon, rack of lamb or lamb chops, a whole pork tenderloin, a pair of perfectly marbled rib eyes, and more.
Pickups are available in Gunnison & Crested Butte
Thursdays from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Our Work
Mountain Roots cultivates a resilient food system in Gunnison Valley, Colorado, by enhancing healthy connections between earth, food, and community. We foster knowledge, teach skills, and provide opportunities that ensure access to affordable, nutritious food that is regionally based and sustainably produced.
WHAT WE DO
Regenerative Farming
Regenerating the land, building soil, training young farmers, and providing food for our community. In addition to 2 in-ground farms, this includes 4 container farms that operate all year long, expanding our growing season significantly.
Farm to School
We teach youth about environmental science, nutrition & healthy eating, growing food, cooking, and more. This deepends their connection to earth, food, and community and builds a foundation for a healthy future.
Food Security
Developing individuals’ self-sufficiency and providing nutritious produce across the Gunnison valley and western Colorado. From free boxes of produce to creating community in our gardens, food security reaches many aspects of our valley.
HEALTHY FUTURES
We build bridges from college to career for young adults seeking to gain experience in agriculture, youth education, community food security, and nature.
