Our mission is to improve health and wellness through education, outreach, and advocacy through improving health literacy, building healthy communities, and advocating for the medically underserved in rural Colorado.
The Holistic Homestead started in 2013 when founder Arwen Ek recognized a need in her community for greater access to affordable, holistic health care. She started publishing health and wellness articles in the local papers and hosting monthly "Tea Parties" to educate and empower people to take charge of their health through lifestyle improvements and simple, natural remedies.
In 2016, the Holistic Homestead incorporated and in 2017 received 501c3 status.
In 2017 The Holistic Homestead surveyed the community to understand what the greatest needs were for improving health and wellness and 90% of respondents voted for a grocery store - access to fresh, nutritious food is the foundation of a healthy life!
In 2018 we started the Community Food Share and the Gilpin County Farmers Market, and in 2020 we opened our brick-and-mortar Market and Cafe, now open to the public six days a week.
