Our ideal is to enable youth in our community to develop an intimacy with the roots of their livelihood. In this way they will be able to make the choices that will create a sustainable future. Hedgerow Farm is a twenty acre organic farm located six miles east of Boulder, Colorado. The farm has five acres of diversified vegetable, flower, and soft fruit crops which it offers to local restaurants, florists, and a Community Supported Agriculture project. Seasonal volunteers and apprentices complete our work team.
Dry Creek runs through the south end of our property.
The visiting students program offers a K-12 curriculum to classes from private and public schools. We encourage classes to visit at least twice a year so they may awaken to seasonal cycles and the changing needs of the land. Successive visits also give children the opportunity to benefit from more long-term projects, such as harvesting in the fall from seeds planted in the spring. Our program enhances students' problem-solving, communication, cooperation, concentration and listening skills in an active approach to learning on the land. Here at Hedgerow we offer opportunities for the whole family to join us in activities similar to those offered to visiting students.
