Farms, Ranches, and Dairies

Our farming practices are ecological and efficient: Woman owned, small scale operation coexisting in a thriving wildlife corridor. We never EVER spray any chemicals, even if they are approved organic. Drip irrigation used farm wide to conserve water. Cover crops such as Rye, Oats, Peas, Hairy Vetch, Triticale are used to build soil, along with regenerative practices such as crimping. Started production on leased land in 2020 and have since secured an additional parcel doubling the farm capacity.

The goal of our family farm is to produce top quality farm products while continuing to increase the diversity and health of ecosystems around us. Our focus at Ollin Farms has always been to produce the most nutritious and flavorful produce possible. All of our produce is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides- not even the organic approved ones. Ultimately, it is the soil that will determine the health of everything that grows out of it, including the farm and the community.

This new farm start has taken responsibility for the Waves of Grain grow operations on the farm at the Nyland cohousing community in Lafayette. The Friends met working on a Boulder County organic farm and set out to build their own business. The team is sponsored and mentored by Waves of Grain.

Hardy practices regenerative and permaculture methods, growing vegetables with rotational grazing to raise meat chickens and pigs. A fruit/berry orchard was planted in 2021 to expand the farm’s food system for the future. He lives on the farm with his partner Lindsey and her four adopted mustangs. "The farm is a place for community. Happy to have you all out to the farm for a tour, farm dinner, concert, or gathering. It’s important for us all to be connected with the source of our food!"

Waves of Grain is proud to offer the 100% grass-fed beef from La Salle, Colorado. Frank started his herd of Scottish Highland cows in 1993, now numbering over 300.  As a third generation rancher, he credits his parents and grandparents for his knowledge and passion for raising animals. His herd does not get corn, soy or GMO’s. The herd moves to multiple farms at varied elevations, to access fresh grasses as conditions change throughout the year. He supplements grazing with a local non-gmo alfalfa and a mineral mix of unprocessed sea salt and volcanic ash.

This creamery is on the small, family-owned Wheeler Farm now located at the base of the
Sangre de Cristo mountains in the beautiful Wet Mountain Valley. The gorgeous views are shared with the herd of Saanen dairy goats. The goat milk is slow/low temp (old school) pasteurized to maintain the wonderful flavor that must be tried to be believed.

Move Mountains is a small, woman-operated farm with sustainable production that prioritizes the health and well-being of our local ecosystem. The farm creates a community-oriented space that fosters deep connections between customers, land, and wildlife. With a degree in Soil and Crop Sciences, head farmer Alyssa Hanofee is committed to enhancing soil health, biodiversity, and working in harmony with nature to create a healthier and more vibrant community.

Kilt Farm selects delicious and nutritious varieties with unique items to
expand your veggie horizons -- over 50 different vegetables and nearly 100
different varieties. Why just have orange carrots when you can have yellow, red
and purple? You will find Kilt Farm veggies at fine restaurants, grocery
stores, and at Waves of Grain. Kilt Farm stands apart with a focus on soil and
plant health, which results in the best tasting, sweetest, most nutritious
food.

This mixed herd of Brown Swiss, Jersey, and Guernsey cows feeds on alpine grasses full of Omega 3s. John makes a range of fresh and aged cheeses in an on-farm creamery. Tasty and good for you!

Well Fed Farmstead is a neighborhood family 4-acre farm, supplying fresh and nutritious produce year-round to the Fort Collins area. This practicing (but not certified) organic vegetable farm focuses on soil health and sustainability: no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides are used on the food that’s grown at Well Fed, and every vegetable is grown with care and love.

Red Wagon Farm is run by Amy Tisdale and Wyatt Barnes, who have farmed together since 2004. The farm recently expanded to a second location at Thomas Open Space in Lafayette. The original farm is still active just north of Boulder near Niwot.
