It's Turkey Time

Thanksgiving may be a few months away yet, but that doesn't mean we haven't been thinking about turkeys. We've been watching our turkeys grow bigger and more delicious-looking all summer and it's time to stake your claim on one for November.

Goat Tour 2020

Grazing Goat The Grazer Goats will move to the next stop in their 2020 summer tour soon. So say hello to them at Lewis Meadows Park (W 33rd Avenue & Union St) before they move to the Clear Creek open space. The goats will keep the grass mowed and the weeds at bay without the noise and exhaust pollution of gas-powered motors.

We have a new partner in our Online Farmers Market lineup. Welcome Carbon Culture Mushrooms

Carbon Culture Mushrooms is a gourmet and medicinal mushroom company. We aspire to connect people back to themselves, back to each other, and back to the earth through high quality food, education, and regenerative land practices.

Look for their products in this month's Online Farmers Market, including mushroom jerky, herbal tea, and natural remedies.

Fridge Values

5 Fridges Farm strives to research and practice realistic local solutions to the issues in our current food system: access, waste, taste, environment, soil/range management, water use, and land conservation. We believe these sustainable options are best disseminated via community engagement, education, hard work, and plain old fun.

5 Fridges Farm is more than just a cool place to visit goats, it’s also a research farm around sustainable practices in urban farming.

Traditional farming spends a lot of time, money, and energy wrestling nature (climate, soil quality, pests, etc) and figuring out how to make money. Natural systems, however, balance themselves with much greater efficiency. So with each year of listening more, and fighting less, with the plants and animals of the Farm, our efforts get more efficient and more sustainable.

It also turns out that when the human farmers don’t have the time, money, or energy for farm projects, they get creative, efficient, and sustainable. Here at 5 Fridges Farm, this has turned into a sort of 3BL (triple bottom line) evaluation for projects - the Farm projects must:

Provide and maintain healthy habitats and diets for animals and insects (social)
Promote and sustain the land they live on (environmental)
Be local and financially sustainable (financial)
