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 deepens 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.
FOOD SECURITY: BACKYARD HARVEST PROGRAM

Packing takes place at the Mentors Building (101 North 8th Street, Gunnison) during the summer and at the Gunnison Valley Mentors Schoolhouse building during the chillier months.
