Nicolas Hugon of Sunny Days Farm is part of a new chapter on a beloved piece of farmland on Pitkin Mesa. Nicolas and his wife Ellen, along with their children, recently made the move to Paonia and purchased the land that was once home to Twisted Root Farm. The property came with a beautiful foundation—soil that had already been carefully loved and stewarded—and the Hugon family has embraced the opportunity to continue that legacy.

Sunny Days Farm utilizes organic and sustainable growing practices. Nicolas brings both deep care and a meticulous attention to detail to every part of the growing process. With a passion for nurturing healthy soil, he focuses on regenerative practices like crop rotation, organic growing methods, and building soil fertility naturally over time.

For Nicolas, farming is about more than growing vegetables—it’s about tending the land in a way that supports its long-term vitality while producing exceptional, nutrient-dense food. His thoughtful approach and commitment to quality are evident in everything that comes off the farm, and the Hugon family is quickly becoming a cherished part of Paonia’s vibrant farming community. 🌱☀️
