Description

Small shares are enough for 1-2 people. The Medium share is enough for a family of 3-4. Each share receives a variety of fruits and vegetables that can include but not limited to: cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, apples, berries, onions, cucumbers, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, squashes, green beans, and peas. Our customers rave about the excellent quality, beautiful variety and the Farm news and recipes they receive each week. They truly become part of the Austin "Family" Farm.

Austin Family Farm was founded in Tennessee in 1960 by Glenn and Tony Austin. They moved to Colorado in 1970 and presently own 26 acres near the foot of Mt. Lamborn in the West Elk Mt. Range of Colorado. Both have been farming for nearly 50 years and some of their children and grandchildren work next to them year-round. Glenn is a 7th-generation farmer and committed to providing safe, high quality food while maintaining responsible stewardship of the land. They are passionate about sustainable agriculture and are often asked to speak and give tours of their beautiful farm.

Austin Family Farm distributes its fruits and vegetables to stores on the Front Range (Colorado Springs & Denver), Vail Valley (Vail, Breckenridge, Frisco, Eagle and Gypsum), the Roaring Fork Valley (Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, & Basalt), Telluride, Crested Bute, Norwood, Salida, Leadville and Buena Vista.
