Join Good Business Colorado for a fun and educational family friendly event!
Come for a sustainability focused weekend around regenerative agriculture and community development. We’ll build a greenhouse from recycled materials, deepen connections with fellow and potential GBC members and their families, camp out under the stars (optional) and explore the area around Delta.
If you're interested in bridging the urban rural divide and learning more about rural farming communities and what issues impact western Colorado, this is an event for you!
We hope you and your family will stay on site to engage in a fun evening around the camp fire!

About the Event Hosts:
Jessi's Farm: It's a former goat farm that we are slowly working on cleaning up and turning into a regenerative agriculture social enterprise. It was overgrazed and over 5 acres were used as a dump so the main focus is currently cleanup, rebuilding the soil, doing sustainable longterm planning using discarded materials around the farm and being intentional about what we do with farm waste. We'll have fresh pears and perhaps plant new fruit trees. Our key question will be: how do you take a farm that has been neglected and turn it into an example of sustainable agriculture?
