McCauley Family Farms
Established in 2012, McCauley Family Farms is a regenerative whole-farm ecosystem that nourishes people and planet. Along with the high mountain snowmelt that irrigates the fields through historic canal, the people that contribute to the farm—staff, volunteers, interns, friends, family, neighbors, and customers—are its lifeblood. The farm is founded on the belief that people and planet can be healed with delicious food. As a unique and vibrant node in the expanding local food system web, McCauley Family Farms is connecting the dots between consumers and crops, produce and people, seeds and souls.
On the farm you will find fermentation, local seeds, perennial crops and herbs, fruit trees, pastured chickens, sustainable honey, sheep, pigs, alpaca, a llama, and most days. Marcus will share his journey as an organic and regenerative producer, how he built his operation, the headwinds he faced along the way and next steps on the journey.
