Welcome to The Living Farm. My name is Lynn Gillespie, and my family has stewarded this 130-acre organic farm in Paonia, Colorado for five generations. On this channel, you’ll learn practical gardening skills, greenhouse growing, seed starting, and food production — but you’ll also see how those same biological principles extend beyond the garden. The way a plant roots into soil isn’t all that different from how an animal seeks warmth, shelter, and good food.
We grow organic food, raise livestock, care for a flock of sheep, and create handmade wool products from fiber raised right here on the farm. Those wool items are a natural extension of our work — another way nature provides when we understand how it works. If you care about growing better food, choosing better materials, and living more closely aligned with nature, you’re in the right place.
