This year was epic drought… the kind that rolls around every hundred years or so. Farmers whose families have farmed here for a century had never seen drought like this. The name of the game? Keeping things alive.

The Magic and the Mystery, Our Summer of Spirit
This summer was a beautiful unfolding here on the farm. As we are embracing a shift within our own hearts, our focus and direction is beginning to be a reflection of that process.
Alpaca Bliss
As I sit to write this post, I can’t quite find the words for the bliss that alpaca’s bring to my spirit… They are divine creatures that spark an imaginative journey and a playful heart. We’ve been blessed here on Kannah Creek with a wonderful herd of these darling creatures, including their guardian llama family, […]
The Front Meadow Project
This spring, our front meadow was born. Many trees have been planted along the perimeter and a wonderful green open space added to the entry of the farm. We will sit with patience watching a beautiful forest grow around the meadow over the years to come, and enjoy the multitude of birds and other wildlife […]
Welcoming the Wintery Wonderland!
The quiet of the white blanket of Winter has arrived, and with it, time for the soul work of introspection, curling up with hot tea and a good book, heaters in the water troughs, and late nights checking to make sure everyone is warm and put to bed. We are grateful to see the mountains […]
Compost is Awesome!
Healthy food begins with healthy soil. The act of composting is awesome! Through composting, you can transform waste into black gold! It’s easy, even you can start one in your own backyard with no more than some food scraps, old leaves and grass clippings. Get busy, make some soil! Below is a fun recipe for a successful backyard compost pile just about anyone can build. It’s even more fun if you get the kids involved.
Farm Work Trade
Here on the farm, we have loads to do! From tilling, planting, and tending the gardens to building projects of all varieties and animal tending and care, there is never a dull moment. We love to have our community out to help, whether it be a one off project or for ongoing visits. Children benefit greatly from work experiences on the farm, and can begin building healthy work ethics while learning what farming is all about!
Events and Retreats
Kannah Creek Farm has a beautiful infrastructure for hosting events and retreats on a small scale with a sustainable and spiritual focus right outside of Grand Junction, in the beautiful farmland of western Colorado. We are committed to providing our community with educational and growth opportunities.
Sweat Lodge
Our farm has been gifted the ceremony of the sweat lodge, using the Mexica tradition. We hold sweats on occasion and they will be posted on the Events Calendar. If you are interested in attending a sweat lodge on the farm, please contact us and let us know!
Community Gardening
The Kannah Creek Community Garden accepts a very small number of members each year to assist in the planting and tending of our food crops, and to receive a regular share of the goods!
