5 Fridges Farm is Partnering with the Community of Wheat Ridge |
One goal of the Farm is to work together with the community to research and develop sustainable practices. Have an idea for a Community Partnership? Contact Us |
Due to COVID-19 we will not be accepting trees this year. Stay safe everyone! Each Christmas season, many evergreen trees and boughs appear in the community. What happens to these when the season is over? Lucky for Wheat Ridge, goats LOVE to eat them!
Please bring your ghosts of Christmas past (trees) to us. We will happily recycle them and you will get placed on the "nice" list in Christmas future. (Sorry, we have now confused many human Christmas stories, but you know what we mean.) Merry Evergreens and Happy New Year! |
The goats were highlighted in the April - June 2017 News and Views newsletter and Wheat Ridge Top of the Hour - "Goats" - July 2017. |

This local cooking show is hosted by Dr. Claudia Folska. While Dr. Folska may be blind, she is less in the dark about where her food comes from than most of the rest of us are. Her Cooking in the Dark show airs on PBS, and in the spring of 2018 you will find an episode filmed at 5 Fridges Farm! In this episode, Dr. Folska and Amanda gather ingredients from the Farm to make deep fried, goat cheese stuffed, squash blossoms. To level the playing field, Amanda is blindfolded.

“Brother Chickens” from Pfz Farms are not like grocery store chickens - meat that is bred for fast weight gain and less flavor. We buy the male chicks from egg-layer breeders who only want to keep females for egg production. Because these "brothers" of brown egg laying hens take twice as long to gain weight, they have better flavor and texture. They are the chickens that your grandparents grew up with, raised the same way your grandparents did. They are fed local grains and scraps from the garden and are allowed to wander around outside. The processing is done with respect, locally by hand, and sold to you to ensure your family can enjoy chicken as it was meant to be. |
Rock River Ranches was started by the four Moore brothers in 2010. Today is it is owned and operated by Rex & Julie Moore and their two sons. We supply Colorado’s finest local bison to local Colorado restaurants and direct to the consumer. We have our own Bison herd in Wray, CO and our cold storage warehouse in Commerce City, CO. Most of our bison are naturally raised in Colorado and a few are from the surrounding states. They are harvested in small groups of 10-14 bison every 2 to 4 weeks so fresh chilled bison is always available. Thank you for supporting small family owned and operated agriculture. Know where your food comes from. |
