Why we Love Abundant Life Organic Farm:
Hotchkiss, Colorado

Nestled in the heart of the North Fork Valley, Abundant Life Organic Farm is a family‑run sanctuary of sustainable growing and community connection. Founded on deep respect for the land and a passion for healthy food, our 20‑acre certified organic operation produces an ever‑changing bounty of vegetables, herbs, and flowers — alongside pastured chicken eggs and seasonal small‑batch preserves.

Our Philosophy
We believe that truly nourishing food begins with healthy soil. Every bed is built and amended by hand, using compost, cover crops, and natural mineral inputs to feed beneficial microbes and lock in moisture. No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or GMOs ever cross our fields — only heirloom and open‑pollinated seed varieties selected for flavor, resilience, and nutritional density.

What We Grow
From early‑spring greens and spinach to summer tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, our crop mix shifts with the seasons. Fall brings winter squash, hardy root vegetables, and storage onions. Each week’s CSA share is curated to showcase peak‑fresh harvests, alongside pantry staples like dried beans, gourmet lettuces, and aromatic herbs. In addition, our pastured laying hens provide farm‑fresh eggs, and our kitchen transforms surplus into handcrafted jams, pickles, and herbal teas.

Community & Learning
Beyond food production, Abundant Life is a gathering place. We host seasonal farm‑to‑table dinners, hands‑on workshops (soil health, seed saving, fermentation), and youth garden camps. Locally grown food isn’t just about what’s on your plate — it’s about strengthening local food security, preserving agricultural knowledge, and celebrating the rhythms of our valley.

Looking Ahead
As we steward this land for future generations, we’re expanding our flower fields for on‑farm weddings, trialing new cut‑and‑come‑again varieties, and partnering with area restaurants to highlight hyper‑local ingredients. From farm tours to pop‑up markets, we invite you to join us in cultivating abundance, one season at a time.
