Know the Farmer that Grows your Food... And your Flowers!
Borden organic farm was established in 1996 by Guy and Lynn Borden. A passion for quality drives our commitment to grow the finest and freshest flowers, herbs, and organic produce for our customers. Our love of the land and appreciation of great food inspires us to farm with the same care that you would take in your own backyard garden.
Located on the Western Slope of Colorado, Borden Farm is situated in the fertile Uncompahgre Valley in the historic farming community of Pea Green. At an elevation of 5,600 feet, the warm summer days and cool nights combine with a fertile, sandy, loam soil to provide ideal conditions for growing. From a modest beginning, we have grown each year to 14 acres of field production and over 10,000 square feet of flowers, herbs and vegetable plants in our greenhouses.
Our Roots are in Vegetables...
Our fresh, organic vegetables are hand-picked in the field at the peak of flavor and nutritional value. Their beauty and great taste are a treat for the palate and a pleasure to prepare. We offer a wide selection of gourmet vegtables, and are best known for the amazing sweet taste of our famous "Borden's Best" Homegrown Tomatoes. During the season, you'll find our vegetables at Farmer's Markets in Carbondale, Aspen, Glenwood Springs, Telluride, Edwards, and Ridgway. We are proud to be featured on menus of several fine restaurants including Cazwellas in Montrose, and La Marmotte and The Cosmopolitan in Telluride, CO.
And We're Growing with Flowers!
We began in the plant business eleven years ago by growing our own vegetable, flower and herb transplants for the field. When we took our "extras" to market, we were amazed at the demand! Our customers loved the choice of big, healthy plants, and our experience in the field helped guide them to success in their home gardens. Today, along with a large selection of specialty vegetable and herb plants, we offer a wide variety of annual and perennial bedding plants. We specialize in premium "Proven Winners" flower varieties for superior color and performance, and our beautiful hanging baskets and container brighten porches and patios from spring through fall.
We hope that you will enjoy the beauty of our flowers and the old-fashioned flavor of nutritious, fresh food like our grandparents used to grow.
