Cresset Summer & Winter Shares! Sign up now for 2010.

Cresset Community Farm (CCF) is a biodynamic farm located on the banks of the Big Thompson River six miles east of Loveland, Colorado, with a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. The non-profit Cresset Farm Development Initiative (CFDI) stewards the land and supports educational, cultural, therapeutic, and social activities centered in farm life. The farmers are Ursula and Lawrence Holmes.

Biodynamic farming is the oldest organic agricultural movement in practice today see: www.biodynamics.com. On CCF’s 120 acres of pastures, gardens, wetland and wild places, we strive to create soil fertility. Using biodynamic methods and with help of our animals who feed from the land, we are able to provide you with products that are unique to this farm. By understanding and observing nature’s life with our hearts we strive to create diversified plant life and all creature life in and above the soil.

A share is a portion of the weekly vegetable harvest. One share of vegetables is intended to feed 2 adults. The summer and winter season is each18 weeks. We plan to begin summer shares in June and the winter shares in October.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between the local farm and its members. The farm and farmers provide local, healthy, farm-fresh food and farm experiences as well as promoting and teaching ways to live simply. Members support the farm through their commitment to buy a share of the harvest, thereby creating a market for the farm’s produce.

The larger community benefits from the preservation of farmland that protects the environment in a way that is economically sustainable for future generations.

We invite every member to join us on our farm days, announced in our newsletter. We welcome individuals, families, groups and volunteers to visit the farm. Contact the farm for an appointment. We look forward to sharing the farm with you providing down to earth exercise.

“Working at the farm is my meditation, my play‐therapy and my grounding. When I leave I am dirty, sore and calm; I remember what is important.” -Cindy Burkhart
