Fozzie’s Farm
Our Education Hub
Fozzie’s Farm was put under a conservation easement with MLC in 2006 by the landowners at the time.
In 2016, those landowners, a couple of longtime locals and land conservation champions, donated the property to MLC for us to turn into our education hub and demonstration site for Community Conservation initiatives.
In 2019, we finished the construction of the Fozzie’s Farm classroom on the property and launched into hosting agricultural education programming, paid internships, landowner workshops, and loads of school field trips.
To date, we have served more than 4,000 visitors and program participants at Fozzie’s!
Find the farm at 19760 Road W, Lewis, CO 81327.

Soil Health and Farm Management Improvement
Our team is investing in soil health at Fozzie’s Farm through best practices such as utilizing cover crop, minimizing disturbances, maintaining living roots, encouraging biodiversity, and integrating livestock through grazing leases.
By increasing soil organic matter, we increase the soil’s water holding capacity, a necessary adaptation as ongoing drought and climatic changes make our irrigation water less reliable.
Our goals with soil health improvement are to conserve water at Fozzie’s and to model this method for other farms and ranches in our area.
