We are a small market farm that specializes in garlic and value-added garlic products such as garlic powder and herbed garlic salts. Previous to specializing in garlic, we grew a wide variety of market produce and still continue to grow most of the produce we eat. We also consider ourselves "homesteaders" working continually to become more self sufficient. We keep backyard poultry, we can, dehydrate, and ferment food for storage, and collaborate with other small farms to supply ourselves with food we don't produce on site.
We live on a acre and a half and produce all of our garlic as well as produce for ourselves on this space. Garlic is our specialty and we grow between 4,000 and 8,000 heads annually.

Hello! I am excited to connect, learn and grow with all of you. I have a big love for this planet that we live on and look forward to growing in this community!
A little about me // I grew up working on cattle, horse and hay farms in the Midwest. My interest in land management and preservation began in college when I did research under an entomologist who studied Midwest crop pests. I continued work after college in marine life conservation- studying humpback whales with the The Whale Center of New England and then interning with the National Park Service at Cape Lookout Seashore where I got a taste of politics and land management issues- specifically with the free ranging horses on North Carolina's Shackleford Banks. I switched gears after that and began my studies in yoga, cooking and healthy living where I spent three months on a bio-dynamic farm in Ecuador. While my experience in organic vegetable production is small, my passion for well-being and contributing to the health of our planet has led me to care deeply about healing/regenerating our land, bodies and food system. I am committed to learning and would love to share in any way I can. I have experience in the kitchen brewing kombucha, quick pickling, dehydrating fruit and international cuisine. I am always looking for new ways to cook or eat a vegetable. Food is the sustenance of life and cooking is both an art and daily ritual for me! This is a very exciting year for me as I join the team at Native Hill Farm. I look forward to a future in local, organic food production!
Currently, I am a backyard gardener and this will be my first year working in production on a bigger scale.

Historic Cherry Mill Farm
My partner BT Huntley and I became the latest stewards of the historic Cherry Mill property 6 years ago. We currently operate a medium-sized garden plot (~40x60 feet), with the aim to grow and preserve (we can, freeze, dry) a large proportion of our yearly vegetable needs....lots of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, onions, brassicas, green beans, etc. We have room to expand and plan to expand as we get our water situation figured out. Although we grow produce essentially just for us, we do sell vegetable seedlings ("starts") in the spring, and have been doing so for longer than we've been here. We have approx. 5 acres of good arable ground, much of it currently in decent smooth brome pasture, on which we raised a couple of beef steers 3 years ago. We raise 4 dozen "head" of poultry and sell eggs. In the late 1980s to 1991, I co-owned one of the first certified organic farms in fort Collins: Inch By Inch Vegetables and Bellwether Farms. We had 5 acres of production in annual veggies, and 1/4 acre "under glass" for year-round production of culinary herbs. I have a BS degree in soil science and an MS in ecology, both from CSU. We have a small home-made hoop-house, and have tentative plans to construct a small "production-level" greenhouse. I am a former beekeeper, currently have no working hives, but have equipment for at least 8 hives. We are open to discussing learning and possible "cooperative employment" opportunities with anyone who might want to help us here develop various aspects of our farm, particularly with respect to : improving our well and irrigation systems; developing bee hives, establishing a hop-growing operation, establishing larger-scales (e.g. 1/2 - 1 acre) vegetable production.
Currently at Historic Cherry Mill Farm, 200 Gregory Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80524. Northeast corner of HWY 1 (Terry Lake Rd.) and Gregory Rd. 6.25 acres including buildings.
