How We Grow
At Calder Farm we use sustainable, regenerative agricultural practices with all of our produce and animals. We practice holistic management and are happy to show you around the farm so you can see how we grow. We are not certified organic, however, we go above and beyond organic practices to ensure we are providing the most healthy option for our family and customers.
We grow our food at various sites around the Gunnison Valley. Our animals are rotationally grazed at different leased pastures and wintered on pastures at Coldharbour Ranch. We work alongside Coldharbour in its mission to educate our community on sustainable living practices. Our vegetables are located on the VanTuyl property, as a lease through the City of Gunnison.
We have a herd of various heritage breed hogs, that are selected for their grazing ability, cold-hardiness, and meat production (especially bacon).
Our vegetable crops include heirloom root crops, such as Purple Haze, Scarlet Nantes, and Amsterdam carrots, Purple Globe Top turnips, Touchstone Gold beets, All Blue, and Dark Red Norland potatoes, Russian Banana fingerling potatoes, Inchilium and Metechi garlic, Siberian and Lacinato kale, Red Express and Copenhagen cabbage, Chioggia beets, purple and Belstar broccoli, various Asian greens, and over 40 varieties of leaf lettuce.
