We use sustainable agriculture to transform the lives of young people and increase access to healthy food in Garfield County.
We are growing food, empowering youth, and fueling community on 3 acres in Silt, Colorado. Using sustainable agricultural practices, we steward public land, improve access to healthy local food and engage teens in meaningful work.
Support Highwater Farm’s Summer Youth Program!
This Colorado Gives Day, help us raise $15,000 to pay five local teens for their hard work in our 2026 Summer Job Training Program. Each youth will earn up to $3,000 while gaining hands-on experience in sustainable farming, teamwork, and leadership.
At Highwater Farm, teens find connection, confidence, and purpose. They grow food for the community, build friendships, and gain practical job readiness and life skills. Many of the youth in our area report facing barriers like limited job opportunities, social isolation, or mental health challenges—and this program gives them a safe, supportive place to thrive.
Your donation is an investment in the next generation of leaders.
