White Buffalo Farm is the oldest organic farm in Colorado, with a 43-year legacy. Nearly 4000 fruit trees and 3 acres of vegetable cultivation combine with 3/4 of a mile of national river help make our 50-acre farm a unique and fulfilling experience.

White Buffalo Farm is one of Colorado's oldest organic farms and a virtual paradise of fruit trees nestled in the foothills of the West Elk Wilderness, yet is an easy bike ride to Paonia. The farm is traversed by the North Fork of the Gunnison River and two irrigation ditches. The farm is USDA certified organic and its founders pioneers in the organics movement.

Established in 1974, the farm's founder has years of experience growing food and community. White Buffalo Farm is evolving with the times. We are ready to engage wonderful new trends in organics, slow food, sustainability, slow money and relocalization.

If you are would like to explore living on the farm, please consider coming to visit the farm.

The farm is home to thousands of fruit trees, several acres of vegetables and three high tunnel greenhouses. We grow cherries, European and Asian plum, peaches, d'Anjou and Asian pears, and apples. We grow tomatoes, squash, greens and a wide variety of other herbs and vegetables for our CSA. We also raise laying hens and guinea hens. WBF sells wholesale to the Front Range, direct at Farmers Markets and thru our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).

Our core values are strengthening organic family farms, growing food for others, eating holistically and locally, placing goodness before money, faith in Spirit/God/Universe, being kind to the earth and ourselves, living in gratitude, being service-oriented, honoring creativity and art, honoring equity, demonstrating tolerance.

Growing food is healing, rewarding and feels great!
