Ollin Farms
|
A ten-acre family run farm located between the towns of Longmont and Niwot in beautiful Colorado. We produce a variety of naturally grown fruits and vegetables as well as raise sheep, chickens, and honey bees. Our mission is to provide the community with a variety of delicious products as well as information on the benefits of sustainable agriculture. As the communities along the front-range get more urbanized, the chance for children to experience the rich farming history of this region becomes more difficult. Ollin Farms is dedicated to preserving those traditions and this year we will be offering 3 summer camp sessions to give kids the opportunity to experience farm life first hand. This is a great opportunity to have a fun time learning about where our food comes from and to find out what it's like to be part of a thriving family farm. |
