Elk Run is a local farm and homestead, recognized by the Colorado Permaculture Guild  as the  2019 “Colorado Farm of the Year”. Nick DiDomenico and Marissa Pulaski turned their barren and overgrazed land into a beautiful and productive farm, where they sell their meats and produce through a CSA, hand-craft kombucha, grow their own apothecary, and train interns on permaculture practices. Elk Run Farm is the pilot research project for their nonprofit, Drylands Agroecology Research. The organization aims to collaborate with local government and private landowners to transform unused and degraded land into abundant food systems, targeting communities that cannot afford nutritious local food. On this insightful episode of The Boulderista podcast, Nick and Marissa share their vision with our listeners.
