About Us

Ollin Farms is a family-run farm rooted in the belief that healthy soil grows healthy food, and healthy food strengthens communities. Everything we do is guided by a commitment to regenerative agriculture, ecological stewardship, community education, and the simple joy of sharing good food with good people.

Whether it is feeding our family or supplying our community, our focus at Ollin Farms has always been to produce the most nutritious and flavorful produce possible. Our nutrient-dense farming model is founded on getting the right nutrients, in the right proportions into an active, living soil. All of our produce is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides- not even the organic approved ones. Ultimately, it is the soil that will determine the health of everything that grows out of it, including the farm and the community.

Community engagement and education is at the center of what we do. Whether it's running youth classes and field trips, or hosting farm dinners, or providing vegetables to local school districts, or collaborating with scientists to track ecosystem data on the farm, all of our work is focused on working together to help build a resilient food system within Boulder County.

Our fields, farmstand, education programs, and community events all stem from one core purpose: to cultivate a thriving ecosystem where people, plants, soil, and wildlife support one another.

Ollin Farms began with a vision to farm in harmony with nature. Rather than relying on synthetic chemicals or industrial shortcuts, we chose to focus on building soil health as the foundation of everything we grow. Over the years, this approach has created vibrant fields, nutrient-dense vegetables, resilient ecosystems, and a farm environment where biodiversity thrives.

Today, the farm is a gathering place for neighbors, families, students, and visitors who want to connect with local food and learn about sustainable agriculture.

We farm with the intention of leaving the land better than we found it. Our regenerative practices include:

• Building living soil through compost and cover crops
• Growing a diverse mix of vegetables for nutrient density and flavor
• Using natural cultivation methods
• Supporting pollinators and wildlife throughout the farm

Every planting, harvest, and field decision reflects our commitment to ecological balance and long-term sustainability.

Ollin Farms is more than a place that grows vegetables. It is a place that grows connection.

Our work extends to:

• Farm Dinners, where neighbors gather under the cottonwoods to share seasonal meals
• Youth education classes that turn the farm into an outdoor classroom
• Field trips and tours for schools, families, and community groups
• CSA memberships that anchor the farm in local food resilience
• A daily farmstand stocked with naturally grown produce harvested steps away

We believe that farms thrive when communities thrive, and we farm with that spirit in everything we do.

Our vision is a future where local food systems are strong, soils are alive, ecosystems are healthy, and every person has access to food that nourishes both body and planet. We see the farm as a model for what responsible agriculture can look like: productive, resilient, community-centered, and rooted in care.

Whether you come for the farmstand, a dinner, a field trip, a volunteer day, or simply to walk the grounds and take in the views, we welcome you into this place we love. Ollin Farms is more than a farm, it is a living, growing community.

Ollin is an Aztec word meaning constant motion or transformation. We chose this name  because of our view the farm as a living, changing organism. No two days on the farm are ever the same and we are constantly looking for ways to improve our products, services, and sustainability. 

The Aztec civilization was a model for sustainable agriculture. Back when organic farming was the only option, the Aztecs found ways to efficiently farm difficult locations and were able to feed huge populations by developing clever distribution systems to quickly get food from the farmer to the consumer.
