Field To Fork Organic Farm

Scott and Jessica Washkowiak began their farming journey in San Diego, California, driven by their passion for organic living and outdoor sports. They started farming together in 2008, working on various organic farms before founding their own farm in Palisade, Colorado, in 2011. Initially leasing land, they purchased their homestead in 2014. Scott, with over 25 years of farming experience, studied Horticulture at Colorado State University and worked on a biodynamic organic communal farm. Jessica, raised in Grand Junction, Colorado, has 14+ years of farming experience and a passion for cooking with fresh, organic produce.

The farm employs a biological soil system approach in their market gardens and greenhouses, focusing on balanced soils, intense planting, and strategic planning. They use no petrol-based fertilizers, herbicides, or fungicides, relying instead on plant, animal, or mineral-based controls derived from nature. Certified organic by the USDA, the farm follows the Biodynamic Calendar and performs all biodynamic preparations. Their methods aim to grow nutrient-dense produce through healthy soils, with amendments added for each specific crop to ensure balanced and healthy growth.

The farm operates over 20,000 square feet of greenhouses and a large market garden with permanent no/low-till garden bed systems. They also manage a 4-acre orchard of mixed stone and pomme fruits. The farm raises pasture-raised chickens for eggs and meat, as well as pasture-raised hogs. Sharing the bounty of their labor with the community is a central aspect of their work, providing high-quality ingredients and produce.
