We have a new partner in our Online Farmers Market lineup.

FloraBee Flowers is a small flower farm in Lakewood, CO. We are committed to growing high quality flowers that are beautiful, unique, long lasting, and grown with integrity. It is important to us that our growing practices ensure that we leave our little piece of Earth better for those who will come after us. We want you to know that when you buy a bunch of flowers from FloraBee, you are taking home flowers grown without herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers.

Look for their dried flowers in this month's Online Farmers Market.

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 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)
