Our Mission
Earthstar Farms is a collective of four small organic farms located in the foothills above Boulder, Colorado. Together Wildcat Gardens, Earthstar Farm, Wildstar Farm and Starlight Caravan share over 150 acres of mountain meadows, pine forests and areas of cultivated gardens. The growers are all neighbors and hold the land as sacred. Earthstar Farms has been USDA certified organic for over 20 years and is committed to following earth-wise, sustainable practices such as Biodynamics and Permaculture.
Medicinal herbs are Earthstar Farms specialty, as the mountain environment naturally grows wild healing herbs such as St. John’s wort, monarda, yarrow and Oregon grape root. Other cultivated herbs, including nettles, calendula, red clover, lavender, passion flower and sweet grass are grown in garden areas. Harvested herbs are dried in solar drying sheds, or made into products such as smudge sticks, sweet grass braids and essential oils. All the work and products are made by hand on the land.
Earthstar Farms has the good fortune to share the land with The StarHouse. A Boulder icon, The StarHouse is a much-loved temple that hosts many sacred ceremonies, weddings and healing workshops. The land is also home to sculptures, energy-works, sacred spaces, labyrinths, trails, and a historical log cabin. These aspects combine to create a unique, special place of natural power and beauty. Over the years, many people have found deep nourishment on this land.
Earthstar Farms is committed to the bright journey of earth wisdom, healing herbs, co-creative community and integrated learning for the universal good of all.
