Dragonfly Farm is a very small diverse family farm located in Southwest Colorado. We grow 25-30 types vegetables, herbs, and operate a very small raw milk dairy. We also maintain a flock of hens for eggs, turkey's for meat and whey fed working pork tilling machines. We use only organic and sustainable methods, for producing our crops and maintaining our animals.
We believe strongly in feeding the soil to produce a healthy plant and spend many of our hours and resources in building up and sustaining organic matter in the soil via various cover crops, organic soil admendments and compost, deep dug beds and crop rotations. Healthly soil grows healthly plants!
In the conventional/industrialized food system the average meal travels 1,500 miles before reaching your table. With this highly centralized food chain it is impossible to know how our food was grown, washed, packaged, stored, and transported. Conversely, local food systems build community and develop regional identity and character. They provide more meaningful livelihoods for food and agriculture workers, encourage community interaction, and build respectful relationships. We see no reason that communities cannot feed themselves and are betting on it by doing our best to grow and sell our produce locally using local resources.
You can support our farm by buying our vegetables and other farm products at various local farmers' markets, through our (CSA) subscription program which is flexible and has a greater variety, at our farm stand in Dolores. We are at Durango Farmers Market May-Oct on Saturdays from 8-12 and Dolores Farmers Market on Wednesday from 3-6 PM.
Our farm stand is open During Season May10 -Oct 15 Monday-10-2 pm Tue-Thurs-Friday from 11:00 - 4:00 PM and on Saturday 2:00-4:00 and Sunday we take the day off. Wednesdays we are closed for visits.
