Mission

Light Root Farm & Learning Center is rooted in the belief that farms can do more than grow food—they can heal, educate, and bring people together in nature. On 65 acres at the edge of Boulder, Colorado, we practice holistic, draft-animal-powered farming that cultivates living soil, nourishes our community with local food, and supports a thriving ecosystem. Our mission is to offer farm-based educational and therapeutic programs rooted in heart-centered, holistic agriculture. By engaging people of all ages in the life cycles of the farm and hands-on work with plants and animals, we cultivate skills, connection, healing, and resilience—for both people and the land. Through experiential learning and mindful connection, we grow community, well-being, and hope for a more sustainable future.

More about this organization

Light Root Farm & Learning Center, founded in 2017, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses the farm as a place for education, healing, and community connection. Through farm-based learning, therapeutic programming, volunteer opportunities, and community events, we help people of all ages and abilities build meaningful relationships with the land, local agriculture, and one another. We believe that healthy communities begin with healthy ecosystems, and that fostering a sense of belonging and shared stewardship strengthens both people and place. By serving as a community hub, we support local food systems while cultivating resilience, wellbeing, and environmental responsibility.
