Located on a beautiful 360 acres in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Sunrise Ranch maintains a legacy of
sustainability, organic farming and
land stewardship since 1945. We implement bio-intensive and
permaculture principles in our organic vegetable and herb gardens as well as our fruit orchard which produces apples, pears, apricots, cherries, peaches and plums. We practice holistic agriculture management on our diverse multi-species farm with grass-fed
cattle, pastured
chickens, Nigerian dwarf goats, pigs, ducks, geese, wild turkeys, and horses. We teach animal husbandry, pasture and livestock management, rotational and mob grazing, coordinated
irrigation techniques, water treatment and processing, green architecture and general sustainability practices. We host an entire farm-to-table curriculum which includes our farm and garden program as well as a Culinary Academy that creates delicious gourmet meals that cater to all types of specialty diets. We are also an
intentional community and conscious retreat and conference center so there are always activities and opportunities for interaction available, including a 5-day conscious music festival held on property every August. We offer a work trade agreement that includes housing, internet, laundry facilities, gourmet meals, and a $250/month stipend for periods of stay ranging from one month to the entire growing and harvest season and beyond. While learning trade skills and performing fulfilling work, you will enjoy gorgeous natural landscapes every day, mountain hiking only a few minutes’ walk away, and close proximity to cities such as Fort Collins, Boulder, Estes Park and Loveland.
