This year’s summit is being co-hosted by the Colorado Department of Agriculture and is being expanded to two days. On day one, organizations will share their work to support local food systems and land stewards in the San Luis Valley and other regions of Colorado. Participants will learn how they can plug in, and brainstorm with each other about where future projects need to focus to meet ongoing needs.

Day two will be spent visiting Jones Farms Organics in Hooper, CO. It is a 4th generation, family owned organic potato, heirloom grain, and cover crop farm located in the beautiful San Luis Valley of Colorado. They are passionate about nutrient dense soil and pride themselves on the sustainability of their farming practices. They have recently become the first Regenerative Organic Certified farm in Colorado.

This year, we will explore how projects in the San Luis Valley and beyond contribute to enhancing working lands.
