 Guidestone is a non-profit organization that serves the Upper Arkansas River Valley of Colorado. Here's what we do:
• We grow farmers.
Through our educational programs, children are introduced to the joys of life in the soil and the gentleness of farm animals. Budding adult agrarians can find internships, farmer incubation experiences, volunteer opportunities, and classes featuring an assortment of skills related to the ecology and culture of food.
• We connect people to the land and land to the people.
There are many acres of agricultural land in our valley not currently in production. There are also a growing number of individuals who want to farm but cannot necessarily afford to purchase land. We connect the two together. By supporting the relationships between landowners and next generation farmers through various management and lease agreement structures, we help to ensure the continuation of the agricultural traditions in our valley for years to come.
• We support and revitalize our local food economy and food culture.
Through our educational work and the facilitation of relationships with farmers and landowners, we encourage the emergence of new farming businesses here in the valley. We look for ways to bring buyers and producers of local goods together by supporting, promoting and/or offering opportunities such as CSAs, product distribution centers, farmers markets, and events. Our communications with our supporters share current ideas and happenings in the local food and food culture scene here in the valley.
Welcome to Guidestone!
