We are a small neighborhood farm in the middle of Boulder (Colorado) utilizing biodynamic methods and preps (we are not yet Demeter certified) and a unique distribution model that is entirely donation-based. We are owned and operated by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with a focus on educating the public and providing meaningful farm experiences to others in our community. We also have a pretty amazing and inspiring story, involving over 600 families in our community coming together to raise over $4.5M to purchase this farm... narrowly saving it from being forever lost to development.

Elk Run Farm is the demonstration site for the nonprofit, Drylands Agroecology Research. The vision of DAR is to transform dry, abandoned, and marginalized landscapes into lush ecosystems where humans, animals, and spirit can thrive. Specific to Elk Run Farm is the implementation of biodynamic practices. On this land, we have prepared barrel compost and utilized many preparations to spread health and vitality to the plants we tend. Join us for a walk on our land followed by tea and discussion around what we do as earth stewards in this part of Colorado.

Spend the morning enjoying Yellow Barn Farm. Established in 1865, Allen’s Farm was originally an international equestrian center operating as a large-scale event and boarding facility with over 50 horses and 100 riders. We’ve chosen to revitalize this land for low-scale, high-quality food production, community-supported agriculture, and sustainability education. We research, implement, and cultivate practices of regenerative farming, animal management, carbon sequestration, soil health, and dynamic/adaptable organizational structures.
