Company description

Ossola Family Farm is a 14 acre farm just outside of Montrose, Colorado. We are a newly established, expanding farm. We specialize in organic fruit, veggies, herbs, and cut flowers and are truly a farm to table to farm operation. This farm is nestled between a century heirloom orchard and towering cottonwoods. We grow organic produce and sell directly to restaurants, farmers markets, and wholesale outfits on the western slope of Colorado. We collect restaurant food waste and have a compost facility onsite to use as a supplement for our regenerative farming practices.
