Desert Canyon Farm Green Thoughts
Desert Canyon Farm is owned by Chris and Tammi Hartung. The farm has been certified organic since its beginning in 1996, and strives to be as earth-friendly as possible both in our work and in our personal lives. We are a United Plant Savers Botanical Plant Sanctuary, a National Wildlife Federation Certified Habitat, a Xerces Society Pollinator Habitat, and we are part of the Colorado Birding Trail with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, so birders and wildlife watchers can visit the farm to do a bit of bird-watching by appointment.
At Desert Canyon Farm we grow more than 2000 different varieties of potted herbs, heritage heirloom and ethnic vegetable and fruit plants, including heirloom fruit trees, unique and native perennials, wildlife habitat plants, edible flowers, and other unique kinds of plants, which are primarily sold farm direct retail during the spring months, and wholesale to independent garden centers year-round. We also contract grow perennial seed crops for Jelitto Perennial Seed Company.
