Today was a great day. I got to ride around the Boulder County countryside and spend time with my beautiful wife and family. We first stopped at Ollin farms on the outskirts of Longmont. Selection was low because it was already two in the afternoon and running behind we obviously were not the first ones to root through the veggies lol. Nevertheless we found some awesome broccoli and turnips. Which we are going to enjoy tonight for dinner on a salad with eggplant parm. Ollin Farms is located at 8627 North 95th street, Longmont CO 80504 Telephone number is 303-717-0586. I love this local farm and will be back pretty regularly this season and recommend it to everyone. Thanks for the bok choy as well. It was delicious.
I suggest everyone to take a peek in this place on your way back and forth from Boulder and Longmont. Lovely produce, great staff and very informative. They are willing to answer any questions you have. Ollin Farms believes in the principle of sustainable agriculture. They are going above and beyond to limit their use of natural resouces such as water, fossil fuels, and electricity. All this hard work is very much appreciated and I salute you for your efforts.
Next on our journey, we found our way to Cure Organic Farm. They have a wonderful self serve farm stand that is down to Earth it makes me feel like stepping back into time onto my grandfathers farm as a small boy. I picked up our salad greens that we are going to eat tonight and an heirloom tomato plant. I am teaching my step daughters about growing our own food (well as much as we can on a patio in an apartment.lol) so I got the seedling to go with the couple other items we have sprouting at home. The salad greens are so crisp and fresh I could not help munching a few on our drive back to Longmont. MMM tasty stuff. Cure Organic Farm can be found at 7416 Valmont Rd. Boulder, CO. Near the corner of 75th and Valmont. Next to Treehouse Nursery. Phone number is 303-666-6397. This is another must stop. Self serve farm stand and when drive up you can see thousands of bees buzzing around the hives and lets you know that this farm is organic and believes in the principles of self sustainability.
