Company description

We are located in Basalt, CO- a beautiful, small mountain town. The farm is 1 mile from downtown Basalt. We are basically half way between Aspen and Glenwood Springs (about 30 mins to each) and about 15 minutes from Carbondale. It is a wonderful place to live and farm surrounded by beautiful mountains, rivers, and small towns.

Two Roots Farm has been growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers for the Roaring Fork Valley using regenerative methods since 2016. We aim to grow food in the cleanest, healthiest way possible: prioritizing the vitality of our farmers, soil, and eaters above all else. We use organic growing practices, minimum tillage, biodynamic compost, crop rotations, high biodiversity, and sustainable methods to grow the best produce possible without the use of any chemicals, herbicides, or pesticides. We rely on integrated pest management, building healthy soil, and hard working farmers to maintain a vibrant farm. Our pastures are managed using rotational grazing, no-spray, and organic methods..

We sell our produce into the Roaring Fork Valley through a 200+member CSA, an onsite farmstand, and local restaurant sales. Additionally, Two Roots Farm provides produce to Lift Up (Basalt- Rifle) Food pantries.

Our goal is to grow the healthiest food possible while fostering a positive work environment, vibrant soil, and community connection. I believe that soil is our most precious resource and we are constantly working towards ways to better protect it and enable life.

Job description

But we also really enjoy what we do, we get to eat amazing food, challenge ourselves, build strength, meet lots of people, feed our community, and tend to a piece of land with all our heart. Its meaningful work, but we are definitely put to the test and not getting rich for it.
