Twisted Root Organic Farm is a six acre family farm based in Paonia, Colorado which focuses on growing diversified vegetables, lavender and herbs for local markets. Twisted Root implements principles from biointensive agriculture, biodynamics, and permaculture design in order to create an ecologically sustainable system. Kristin and Eric Just will give us a tour of their farm and share insights about managing a certified organic farm. Afterwards, Brad Tonnessen, the Station Manager for CSU’s Organic Agriculture Research Station at Rogers Mesa located down the road in Hotchkiss, will give a brief presentation on organic vegetable variety trials taking place at his farm as well. Come prepared for the weather, lunch will be provided, and we look forward to seeing you there!
