Pueblo Seed & Food

Pueblo Seed & Food has been certified organic since 2001. The farm grows 100% open-pollinated, non-GMO varieties and selects for drought tolerance. Its farming systems draw on principles from rotational, conservation, regenerative, and biodynamic agricultural traditions. Seed crops are grown in McElmo Canyon specifically for its isolation from pollen drift, helping to keep varieties genetically pure. The farm also partners with other farms in southern Colorado to manage seed isolation distances and supplement its seed offerings. A conservation and stewardship focus guides the seed work: the farm works to preserve varieties handed down by farmers over generations and tells the stories of seeds and food through its products and educational offerings.
