Highwater Farm — Attraction in Silt

Highwater Farm is an incredible asset to our community. I’ve participated in a variety of CSAs over many years and have experience with organic farming and youth core work. My husband and I have been Highwater CSA members for 2 years now, and have been impressed with their mission, the quality, quantity, and variety of produce grown, and their commitment to helping those in need in our community.

I had the pleasure to be a part of the work share program in exchange for produce. It was a wonderful experience and I gained more than just food. I learned how to grow my own food and cook with local veggies that were new to me. I love that everyone in this farm cares about the quality of their products and avoid the use of any herbicides/pesticides. The people who work there are salt of the earth type people who happily welcome anyone who is interested to the farm; whether to look, take produce home, or help work on the farm. I encourage anyone who is looking for a healthy lifestyle or wants to be involved in their community to look at...
