Hi Friends,

Happy Spring. Please join us for this special event.

This month we are going Longmont to visit a regenerative farm!

Kris and Becca started Lazy Acres Ranch when they moved onto a 6 acre horse property near Longmont CO. The land was overrun with undesirable plants and the overall soil health was very poor. As first generation ranchers they have utilized Holistic Management, Permaculture and Soil Health principles to guide their operation as they raise regenerative meat, build soil health and plant climate adapted perennials. The need of the land and intrinsic nature of the animals has grown their operation to include rabbit, chicken, pork and lamb. Kris' agricultural journey started as a founding member of the Flatirons Farmers Coalition where he gained an understanding of the needs of our local producers and the many burdens they face. This experience led him to opening Boulder County's first Agricultural Rental business, the Tool Library LLC. The Tool Library aims to reduce the equipment burden faced by many farmers through affordable equipment access. Becca started and ran an urban farm in New Orleans for 4 seasons, raising rabbits, chickens and growing vegetables for the community. When she moved to Colorado she had to relearn everything she knew about growing food in this climate. Kris and Becca enjoy sharing what they have learned by hosting volunteers and hiring interns where individuals can get their hands dirty and see what it really takes to raise regenerative local food. They believe that raising animals in an environment where they can do what they love produces the highest quality food for their family and the community all while sequestering carbon and providing habitat for nature.
