Farm to Table

 I recently visited the Three Leaf Farm located in Lafayette Colorado. This farm represents a commitment to fresh, local produce including seasonal vegetables, herbs, eggs, and flowers. Tucked along the banks of the Coal Creek River with majestic views of the Continental Divide, this little urban farm is a pastoral oasis which is the home to goats, chickens, and horses, as well as the seasonal produce. It is amazing to me that forty percent of what is grown on this three acre farm supports seven restaurants in the Boulder area. Family farm dinners are offered four times a year, as well as, many interesting workshops  showing how to use fresh organic produce to enhance our daily lives.
