Mountain Roots cultivates a resilient and equitable food system by enhancing healthy connections between earth, food, and community. We foster knowledge, teach skills, and provide opportunities that ensure access to affordable, nutritious food that is regionally based and sustainably produced.
The Mountain Roots Farm to School program helps 2,000 K-12th grade students annually in Gunnison and Crested Butte learn about nutrition and making healthy food choices; and by fighting food insecurity with free produce boxes.
In 2022, Mountain Roots launched two hydroponic farms, yielding a lettuce harvest that was distributed to families in need, and two more farms are in the works for 2023.
