Farm Description
The Cameron Place Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) provides over 150 families with organically grown fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers across the Grand Valley in Mesa county, Colorado. We also provide our produce to many local businesses including restaurants and Bed and Breakfasts.
Our 7+ acre garden in Palisade is truly a spectacular setting: the fields are surrounded by the famous Book Cliffs to the North, the Grand Mesa and Horse Mountain to our east and south respectively, and to our west, the Grand Valley containing Grand Junction, one of the fastest growing cities on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. Traditionally prime peach country, we are the first here in Palisade to supply not only locally-grown organic fruit but also an ever-expanding array of produce to the people of this great valley. We utilize sustainable techniques emphasizing long-term productivity and health of the land and for those who work it and are nourished by its bounty. Our crops are also nourished with compost, flowering cover crops, intense Colorado sunshine, and water from the Colorado river flowing by.
The farm here at The Cameron Place is just a small part of a bigger issue and initiative. The CSA concept is an international and progressive movement seeking to reduce our carbon footprint, prioritize a healthy lifestyle, and re-establish a locally based sustainable agricultural system. Our farm offers a space where the community can reconnect with the source of their food and can learn about the processes in which it grows. Perhaps most importantly, we strive to provide a bridge between the community "at large" and those who grow their food and love doing so "on the farm."
We here at the farm thank you for your interest and support. Please feel free to contact us anytime!
