Why We Love Grange Road Growers:

Grange Road Growers is an increasingly diversified one acre market garden and family homestead. We enjoy beautiful views of mountains, pastures, and orchards in all directions. Although there is much more field work in the summer, we are beginning to grow almost year-round with the addition of four high tunnels. We primarily sell vegetables to a local wholesaler and a farmer’s market with online ordering and in-person pick-up. We also grow regionally adapted seeds for a seed company in the area. Meet the Farm Managers This is our third year farming together at this location.

We are a couple, Chris and Laura, who each had experience farming before we met. Laura became interested in gardening in high school by volunteering at a membership-based farm in Fort Collins, CO. She studied Organic Agriculture at CSU and then worked on several farms after college in Maine, upstate New York, and Colorado to learn different styles of farming. In between farming, she taught elementary school for three years, but she now prefers to teach motivated learners how to farm, and applies her organizational skills to the planning of plantings.

Chris found farming through natural building work in SE Ohio, where he worked for someone who used draft horses both for logging and in the builder’s large home garden. Chris became inspired by this family’s self-sufficient lifestyle, as he had always cared about quality work and found it lacking in the modern world. Chris transitioned from logging and building to farming by interning on two small farms in Paonia before taking on the responsibility of running his own farm. Chris brings to the farm a high standard of quality, attention to detail, a sense of humor, strength, and a passion for finding the right tool for every task. Growing Methods

We use a human-scale style of farming and no-till practices as much as possible to build structure and life in the soil, to keep the ground covered, and to keep weed seeds from surfacing. To prepare the soil, our current protocol is to clear any remaining rocks or disrupting plant debris from the surface, broadfork, spread organic amendments and peat moss, and harrow the top inch to create a light and even bed for seeding. We are working towards even less tillage and more mulching with wood chips or cover crops. For most crops, we start seeds in the greenhouse and transplant to the field to give the plants a head start competing with weeds. Between planting and harvest, there is a lot of cultivating and irrigation to be done. When a crop has been harvested, we usually mow what’s left, water, cover it with a silage tarp, and let earth worms, etc do the rest of the work breaking down the organic matter. We are transitioning towards cover cropping and rotating animals to build soil fertility, rather than purchasing inputs. We use several pest management strategies to avoid spraying chemicals, as well as shade cloth, row covers, hoop houses, and variety trialing to produce the best tasting vegetables possible in all kinds of harsh weather conditions. Western Colorado has a fairly long growing season with somewhat mild and sunny winters. The summers are usually dry and require regular irrigation, but we have fewer pest and disease problems than more humid climates.
