Goat Tour 2020

Grazing Goat The Grazer Goats begin their 2020 summer tour this month. Their first stop will be Lewis Meadows Park at W 33rd Avenue & Union Street. The goats will keep the grass mowed and the weeds at bay without the noise and exhaust pollution of gas-powered motors. Look for updates on Facebook and Instagram.

5 Fridges Farm has partnered with other local businesses who share our same values. We'd like to introduce you to Nourish Me. Nourish was started as a way to help everyone achieve a diet that is good for their body and mind. I believe that the food we put in our mouth directly affects how we feel and how our bodies function. That is why it is so important to understand what is inside the food we’re eating. Eating things that are delicious and you love is also really important. That is why our focus is healthy comfort food. If you need help figuring out what to eat, talk to our staff nutritionist Emily.

Fridge Values

5 Fridges Farm strives to research and practice realistic local solutions to the issues in our current food system: access, waste, taste, environment, soil/range management, water use, and land conservation. We believe these sustainable options are best disseminated via community engagement, education, hard work, and plain old fun.

5 Fridges Functional Farm

Welcome to 5 Fridges Functional Farm's first video looking at the basics of standing and breathing before tackling the chores of the day with Amanda of 5 Fridges Farm.

5 Fridges Farm is more than just a cool place to visit goats, it’s also a research farm around sustainable practices in urban farming.

Traditional farming spends a lot of time, money, and energy wrestling nature (climate, soil quality, pests, etc) and figuring out how to make money. Natural systems, however, balance themselves with much greater efficiency. So with each year of listening more, and fighting less, with the plants and animals of the Farm, our efforts get more efficient and more sustainable.

It also turns out that when the human farmers don’t have the time, money, or energy for farm projects, they get creative, efficient, and sustainable. Here at 5 Fridges Farm, this has turned into a sort of 3BL (triple bottom line) evaluation for projects - the Farm projects must:

Provide and maintain healthy habitats and diets for animals and insects (social)
Promote and sustain the land they live on (environmental)
Be local and financially sustainable (financial)
