Colorado deliveries are out!

As we start to wrap up the farmers market season, farmer Adam and I want to say thank you to all our mountain folks who bought our bundles and supported us at the Evergreen Farmers market. We are definitely far from being perfect, so your patience, understanding, and kind words go a long way. Every purchase and interaction we make to spread regenerative farming is a win for us, so again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts as we continue to make sacrifices to put our food system in the right direction: for the livestock, people, and land.

Catch you tomorrow at the Evergreen Farmers Market!

Love,

Farmer Christina and Adam

OUR FIRST RESTAURANT PARTNERSHIP WITH Mayan Cafe !

We are thrilled to announce that River Forest Farms and Mayan Cafe are working together this year for the new fall menu! Farmer Adam and I are so thankful to have cross paths with this place.

This is what we at River Forest Farms are all about. We want to connect with folks that put the ethics and health of the people, livestock, and planet first. We still may be a small farm, but collaborating with people at Mayan Cafe is exactly the sign for us to keep fighting the good fight.

Welcome to the Land of the Sun!

It has been a few weeks since farmer Adam and I got back from Oaxaca, Mexico but we definitely wanted to share this amazing experience we had at a farm!

Our September field notes are out! Heres a little sneak peek of our journey with Tierra del Sol Oaxaca

“Farmer Adam and I recently came back from our trip to Oaxaca, and it was by far the highlight of our summer. Lots of surprising things occurred during the trip, but when we came across Tierra Del Sol, it was something I would never forget. Tierra del Sol (Land of the Sun) is a farm just east outside of Oaxaca city that focuses on permaculture and regenerative agriculture practices. It started in the late 90’s when a commercial Pilot name Pablo decided to shift his career to focus on regenerative agriculture and water conservation. Fast forward to today, it is now a thriving ecological space where the community takes care of the land through regenerative principles, putting our health first, and teaching bioregional education.…”

Gracias!

Bringing the Vietnamese flavors to the mountains!

We had another great time participating at the The Original Evergreen Farmers Market this past weekend.

We are grateful to say that we sold out on a few cuts and loved hearing your feedback on our demo recipe. We hope you will enjoy making this delicious flavor bomb of a recipe with the rib chops, loin chops, or even ribs. Don’t forget every purchase comes with the demo recipe! We will be back starting tomorrow for the Tuesdays event until the end of september.

First Colorado farmers market was a success! ⛰️

Over the weekend, Adam and I participated in the The Original Evergreen Farmers Market and it was such a great feeling to being a part of our mountain community.

It might be a bit confusing but Adam and I live the majority of our time here in Colorado! But our farm is currently established on Adams family’s land back in the Midwest. You might think it’s crazy (and trust me, it is a wild journey) but we have and currently are sacrificing a lot to really try and make a difference with the way we eat. You can’t expect everything to be all perfect when it comes to chasing your dreams.

We had the best time interacting with the locals, getting to know their struggles on the food system, and ultimately connecting with them through our philosophy on regenerative practices with grass fed lamb.

My mini Mediterranean meatballs with homemade tzatziki sauce was a hit! It really made me feel loved for those who didn’t like lamb and loved it! It’s just a matter of how you prepare it to make it delicious. Hope everyone is able to enjoy the recipe that was sent with your purchase.

As Adam and I prepare for a little vacation/farm research, we will be taking a mini break from the farmers market…but we will be back on the following dates! Thank you again for supporting regenerative farmers and our dream. Every conversation, purchase, and even acknowledgement matters.

next dates:

Saturday, August 22nd
Saturday, August 29th
Tuesday, September 1st
*Pending the remaining September Tuesdays*

Regards,
Farmer Adam and Christina
